I tried desperately hard to find asection bad enough to photograph, butcould not, so I shall have to assume thatDr. Miller knows what he is talking about,for beeway sections at least. Summing up the whole matter, it seemsto me that the practice of laying plain sec-tions down on sandpaper in order to cleanthe edges should be condemned. A betterway is to use some sort of scraper for theedges of plain sections, and no doubt evenof beeway sections, unless the operator iscareful. Of course, the edge of the beeway,if badly propolized, has to be scraped anyway if one wants his comb honey to FANCY AND CULTj HONEY IN THE SAME SHIP-PING-CASE. The second illustration shows a coupleof sections taken from a shipment of very GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. Five different styles of foundation starters. fine comb honey—at least most of it wasfine. The only bad thing about it was thatevery now and then a badly bulged or one-sided section was slipped in along with thegood honey. Both of these sections weretaken from the same shipping-case. Where-ever this is done the surface of the comb ofthe bulged section is nearly always bruisedas well as the section next to it. Bulgedcomb honey ought to be considered unship-able; at any rate, it should never be ship-ped with good honey. Aside from the badpractice of injudicious gxading, shippinghoney like this with good honey alwaysmakes trouble. The one mistake spoils twosections. If shipping bulged comb honey were arare practice, calling attention to the matterin this way would be foolish; but instead ofbeing rare it is, unfortunately, very com-mon. In most cases I suppose it is not in-tentional ; but, like all other unintentionalmistakes, bad results follow just the same. WHAT IS THE BEST-SHAPED ST
