Olmstead explained his rapid method of handling comb honey, scraping and crating it. He said a great deal of time is unnecessarily wasted by many a bee-keeper in getting his honey ready for the market because his comb- honey supers are faulty. The scalloped bottom-bars of section-holders, he said. are a nuisance, as the sections and bot- tom-bars do not fit each other _ exactly, causing propolis to be deposited in places where it can not be gotten at very read- ily. If all the gluing is done on the bottom or top of the section or the out edges of the Cbeeway) section, then it can be scraped off easily and quickly by sliding the sections over a tightly- stretched piece of wire screen of one- nuarter inch mesh; whereas, if any gire is deposited in the scallops it has to be removed with a knife, which takes more time.
