With a description of how I store my combs, which are used for extracting purposes, I will close this al- ready too Ions article. As you are buildinjr your honey-room, have the studding on one side set just as far apart as the top-bar of your frame is long; not from center to center of studding, but leave that space between each. Now nail strips of '-s stuff,-"; feet long by 5 inches wide to these stud- ding, lettiugtheni stand out into the room in a hori- zontal position. Let the distance between each strip from top to top be 1 inch greater than the depth of your frame, so as to give sufficient room to manipu- late the frames handily. Three inches from the ends of these strips run a partition clear across the room, which is to have close-fltting, narrow doors placed in it, spaced so as to be most convenient. Now hang in your combs; see that all conitis not in use are in their place, and not lying about some- where else. As often as any signs of worms are found, put in a pot of burning sulphur; close the doors and the work is done.
