comb in tumblers. If there is no [added: more] comb to be put in the tumblers, they ought to have a line
of wax drawn hot over the center and down the sides, the tumblers being previously warmed
to make it adhere strongly. In my hives, however, with movable frames, there need be no
difficulty in always having a supply of new comb on hand in the working season. I have
found that when the comb is simply crowded into the tumbler the bees appear to be most active
in repairing and attaching it, as though they could not let such an indifferent job pass without
making it all right. And when once they begin to work if honey is plenty they will seldom
stop until they have filled the glasses. As glass is such a good conductor of heat it is
important to have the tumblers well covered in order to economize as much as possible the
heat necessary for comb building. When the weather is extremely hot the rapid subtraction
of heat will be of advantage to the bees, but as comb building is most actively carried on in
the night the honey receptacles will seldom be too warm.
