[2043.] Please accept a comb packed in a small box as a specimen of the method adopted on my recommenda- tion in St. Petersburg for the sale of honey in the comb. 1 find the boxes very convenient, and at the same time practical, more especially for bee-keepers who prefer working supers to sections. In order to enable all to sell their honey to the best advantage, I also allow the addi- tion to the comb honey of extracted honey. In this case the glass must be cemented on the top of the box, with instructions not to turn it over. In order to open the box pass a knife under the glass. Two or three completed combs can be packed, if desired, in the same box. Cheap boxes are made at home, and are more modest in appearance than the one I send vou.—A. M.

The box is one and three-quarter inches deep, and the lid which fits over it is glazed with ornamental lace paper round the edges, giving it a very neat appearance. The space between the comb and lid is filled with a cushion of tissue paper. The card-board planned for obtaining comb honey, but here is an adaptation for enabling the cottager to obtain his pro- duce in the form of run honey. The present arrange- ment may therefore be said to be a step in advance. By placing ten of Lee's patent shallow bar-frames in the deeper portion of the box or cover, honey suitable for extracting will be stored, and, after the combs are sealed, may have the liquid honey extracted in the usual way. The frames are 6 in. deep, broad-shouldered, and admit of full sheets of foundation being fixed firml
