The entire prevention of drone rearing can only be accomplished by close spacing the frames. This is done by drawing the metal ends of every alternate frame right to either end, then pushing all tight together, the intervening space being closed with the division board, as Fig. 77. To prevent the bees building comb in the empty space between the division board arid the side of the hive it should be filled with cork dust or rags before putting on the super. Even if the rearing of drones has commenced, they are unable to emerge from the cells for want of room.
