In a former article we mentioned certainhive manipulations as being necessary in or-der to prevent the brood-chamber from be-coming crowded with honey and brood,which are the prime causes that bring aboutswarming. This brings us down to the sec-tional hive. As that hive is the only onethat can solve the problem of the rationalhiving of swarms so that work in the sectionsis not in the least interfered with by the is-suing of a swarm of bees, but goes right onwith even more vigor than before, even sowe must look to the sectional hive as theonly means of swarm control in the produc-tion of comb honey where the brood and beesare to be kept together, with no desire toswarm, right through the honey-flow, be it. 1.—J. h. llAMi- -?IJ riONAI, 111\K; lUvOOl)SECTIONS AND SUPEKS ALL ALIKE ANDINTERCHANGEABLE. long or short, fast or slow. To the fact thatthe principles embodied in the constructionof the sectional hive aie the result of a care-ful study of the natural instincts of the beeis due the reason why it is destined tosolve the problems of perfect swarm controland successful comb-honey production thathave for so many years baffled the skill ofthe users of the full-depth flxed-brood-cham-ber hive. 766 GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. June 1 Although it is claimed that the laige full-depth hives will prevent swarming, yet beesin such hives continue to swarm the same asof old. This theory is as destitute of anyproof for its support to-day as it was twentyyears ago; and yet it has been harped on forso long that it has come to be accepted as amatter of fact, while in reality nothing in f0 BjBIl I^^H ^H^^^^ ^4v ^^^^ll ^^^^n^^H FIG. 2.—SIDE OF UPPER SECTION DETACHED TO SHOWCO
