Most of the machines that are made turn out foundation- sheets, which are to be hung horizontally, when the cells are in the proper position. But in the cutting of sec- tion foundation^ the sheets are often made so that they must hang the other way. Yet there seems to be no bad result when this is done and the bees accept the foundation, no matter how the cells are turned. It is not always best however to give comb foundation in full sheets to natural swarms, for two reasons. The first is that.
