To remove the sections from the case, we invert the case and set it on a shallow box just the size of the case. This need not be more than two inches high. We now lay a block, which will cover a row, on the sections, when, by a smart blow from a mallet, a whole row of sections is loosened at once. Even with the best care and management there will be some unfilled sections at the close of the season. In large apiaries, where there are thousands of these, they may be safely placed in.
