The Production of Comb-Honey 
319 
venient, though perhaps not artistic, method is to put the 
comb in a tureen. The frames may be refilled with founda¬ 
tion again and again. This is recommended to beekeepers 
with few colonies as simpler, cheaper and more profitable 
than comb-honey production. 
Cut comb-honey for market. 
Another style of package has recently been devised by 
the A. I. Root Co., Medina, Ohio, which is attractive and 
promises to have a great future. Small pieces of comb 
are cut, drained of the honey in the cut cells, wrapped in 
two thicknesses of waxed paper and finally put in an attrac¬ 
tive carton. A number of these cartons are then packed 
in a box for delivery. The individual cartons are sold in 
dining cars, restaurants and hotels, naturally at a high 
price for the amount of honey served. So far the demand 
for this honey is limited, but beekeepers so situated that 
they have their winters free to put up and sell such honey 
may find it profitable. The comparative ease with which 
honey can be handled in this way suggests the desirability 
of a larger piece of honey, weighing perhaps a pound, wrapped 
in the same way. Such honey would ship better, it would 
all be “fancy” and should bring a high price on the market 
when a trade is built up. As far as the writer knows, this 
has not been tried in the United States.
