The ABC of bee culture: a cyclopaedia of every thing pertaining to the care of the honey-bee; bees, honey, hives, implements, honey-plants, etc., facts gleaned from the experience of thousands of bee keepers all over our land, and afterward verified by practical work in our own apiary. Bee culture. COMB HONEY. (53 COMB HONEY. thing in small sections of about one pound each, and put up as neatly and nicely as I have described. Nice comb honey in boxes is quite plentiful at 15 cents, in many places. In order to test the shipping qualities of our cases, as well as the markets in our dif- ferent cities, we sent a case, such as we have figured, to Cincinnati, one to Chi- cago, and one to New York city. They had no protection at all, but all went safely; and I know of no reason why a glass case of honey should not have as careful treatment as a basket of peaches, or a crate of straw- berries, for that matter. All praised the case and honey, some of them extravagantly, and most of them wanted more. It is so clean and convenient for retailing that a brisk de- mand has sprung up at home, and it looks now as though we might sell a ton or more right in the apiary, without stirring a " peg " to hunt up a customer. My friends, we can sell our honey, our queens, aye, and our bees too, all in this very way, if we will keep ful- ly up to the light we now have. Throw away patents, adopt one uniform hive, hon- ey-package, etc., and let those who choose to follow the old jumbled-up way of doing things hunt for customers, and sell at half price even then. A similar case, but holding only a single tier of sections, is shown under Hive-Mak- ing. This is made to go into the hive and therefore answers the double purpose of a case for holding the sections in the hive, and also a case in which to send them to market.
