So, no mat- ter what kind, style, size or shape hives you now have, whether you have been unsuccessful with them in producing section honey or not, or whether they are not just suited for extracted honey, makes no difference. .'\ny hives that can be made to receive a shallow super above can be converted into a bulk- comb-honey hive, so that no matter what kind of hive one now uses, or how inany one has, the change to bulk- comb honey will be very slight as compared with the advantages of its production as a more profitable venture. Of course, I might admit that some hives arc better than others, no matter what kind of honey is produced, and although this is a fact, it is nothing compared with the difference in hives for the successful production of comb honey in the small, miserable I-pound section The majority of the hives now in use are of standard size and variety, and sucli that allow tiering up of supers above, especially hives that have been used for section-honey production. With these the supers can even be converted into shallow-frame supers—just the ideal for bulk comb honey. Many bee-keepers are already using shallow frames for extracting purposes, and hence need make no change in their hives and super arrangements. If the deep frames are used for extracted honey, it would be advisable to turn these sets with deep bodies into brood- chambers for increase whereon shal- low supers can then be added. The deep or Langstroth frames, or like ones, are unsatisfactory for our pur- pose, being too deep, and a deep super of them is too much room for most satisfactory results; besides, they do not allow the use of full sheets of thin super foundation; and possess other dis
