All sub-sequent steps are the same as above describ-ed and illustrated. STORING EBIPTY COMBS. Mention was made of storing frames ofhoney in the annex, taken from the brood-chamber during a good honey-flow. Iwould here emphasize the importance ofthis measure as a means of relieving the con-gestion of the hive at a time when it aidsin controlling the swarming impulse. Thesecombs are not taken from the bees, but theyat once divide their forces to care for themin their new location.
