Is it necessary to place foundation starters in one-pound sections with separators ? 2. If so, why ?—L. W. 1. To be sure.—J. M. Hambaugh. 1. It is desirable. 2. It secures nicer combs.—A. J. Cook. 1. Yes. 2. So the bees won't build crosswise.—G. C. Miller. 1. I think so. 2. To insure fine, straight combs.—R. L. Taylor. 1. I should think so, but I have never used separators.—Mrs. L. Harrison. 1. Yes. 2. The bees will begin sooner, and make a better job.—E. France. 1. Ye

Yes. 2. The bees will begin sooner, and make a better job.—E. France. 1. Yes. 2. Bees will work sooner, and have more perfect combs, etc.—P. H. Elwood. 1. Yes, sir ; I would use the foundation starters when separators are used.—J. P. H. Brown. 1. It is not absolutely necessary, yet I would not think of doing without them.—H. D. Cutting. 1. Yes. 2. So the bees may build combs exactly in the center of the sec- tions.—Dadant «fe Son. 1. Yes, in my apiary. 2. Because it is the only way I can produce first-class honey.—Eugene Secor. 1. Certainly. I use full sheets of foundation. 2. To secure straight combs.—J. H. Lakrabee. 1. It is not necessary, but insures starting more promptly at the com- mencement of the season.—S. I. Free- born. 1. Yes. 2. Otherwise the combs might be built across the sections, and fastened to the separators.—G. M. Doo- LITTLE. 1. Yes. 2. So that the bees will start the combs straight. Also, because they will begin more readily to build comb.— M. Mahin. 1. Yes. 2. Without the starters the separators are of little value. If I were to part with either, it would be with the separators, as I have found that they build just as straight without as with them; but without, they build more un- evenly.—Jas. a. Stone. 1. Yes, sir; and full sheets are better yet. 2. If nothing of the kind is used, most of the comb will be attached to the separators, whether of wood or tin.—C. H. DiBBERN. 1. It is necessary
