When in position just above the bees it may be covered by a shingle or piece of pasteboard, to prevent daubing the cloth or cushion, and all by the chaff cushion. To feed, we have only to raise the cushion and the pasteboard, and turn the food through the gauze. No bees can get out, there is no disturb- ance, no danger from the robbers, and we can feed at any time, and can feed very rapidly if desired. I like this feeder the best of I have ever tried. I make them out of two-inch plank^ The Heddon feeder (Fig. 128) is much the same in princi- ple as the Smith, and has all the advantages. It is the size of a section-crate, and so holds many pounds. The figure makes it plain. The spaces in this are not saw-cuts, but are formed by thin boards nailed in a box vertically, and a space on one or both sides (Fig. 128) does not connect with the food reser- voir, but serves as a passage-way fOr the bees from hive to.
