. Langstroth on the hive & honey bee. Bees. COMB HONEY. 439 take one of these methods or expect less crop than he would otherwise get from the most prolific queens. 731. 3d. SecuPvIxg straight, evex cojibs, in sections. With ihin comb foundation (683), in strips filliug 1/2 to ^4 of the section, the combs are always straight, but their surface, when sealed, is not always even. Some cells are built longer than others, and, in packing the honey, these bulged combs might come in contact with one another and get bruised. To jDrevent this occurrence, many Apiarists use "separators," made of tin, wood, or coarse wire cloth, placed between the rows of sections, as in figs. ISO and 192. This invention, claimed by. Fig. 192. SECTION SUPER WITH WOOD SEPARATORS. Mr. Betsinger, of New York, was first tried in the brood chamber, by Mr. Langstroth in It was suggested by Mr. Colvin. (See former edition, page 374.) Another method has been devised. Plain sections, without insets for the of the bees, are made, and a "fence" is used between the sections. This fence is made of slats, fig. 193, with upright strips which rest perpendicularly against the edge of the sections. The bee space is thus made by the help of the fence, the entire length of the sections at top and bottom. Either method succeeds in securing straight combs,.
