If they are not used, the brood is almost certain to be scattered through the supers, or upper stories; and ripe honey, ripe as it ought to be when it is extracted, cannot be thrown from the combs very rapidly or completely, with- out at the same time throwing out the brood. If brood is found in the upper story, it is, of course, sometimes possible to exchange such combs for the outside combs in the brood nest, if such can be found without brood, but all this takes time. To successfully con- duct an apiary, the fixtures and methods should be such that the work will move along smoothly, and in a systematic manner, with- out any "; There is also another point to be considered in connection with the use of queen excluders when producing extracted honey, and that is the freeing of the supers of bees by the use of bee escapes. If the super contains brood and, perhaps, the (jueen, the bees could not be induced to desert bj' the use of an escape. If the\' did leave the brood, then something would have to be done with the brood, as already mentioned. In short, advanced bee culture has divided the hive into two distinct apartments—brood and surplus—and unless this division can be maintained, many i)roritable plans must be re- linquished. The (jueen excluding honey board enables the bee- keeper to thus set a boundary, beyond which tlie brood can not Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Hutchinson, William Z. , 1851-1911.
