Description of the Extractor. 89 
placed underneath to receive it, will be of the 
finest quality. With regard to comb containing 
pollen, pass the back of a knife along each 
side of it in the way mentioned above, taking 
care not to crush the pollen, and proceed as in 
the former case. Your honey will still be of a 
good quality, although inferior to the first. 
Put what remains of the comb into some kind 
of jar, which must be placed in the oven after 
the bread has been taken out. The honey 
which will be obtained by these means, although 
of inferior quality, may be employed as food 
for weak hives during the winter. 
THE EXTRACTOR. 
In order to separate the best of the honey 
from the comb, an extractor should be used. 
This method has the advantage of preserving 
the comb, which can afterwards be replaced in 
the hive, and, at the same time, of preventing 
the bitter taste of the pollen from being com- 
municated to the honey. 
The honey thus extracted from old comb, will 
be found to be of as good and fine a quality as 
that extracted from virgin comb.
