The illustration below shows the position of the various contrivances introduced in this very complete arrangement for uncap- ping and extracting honey from shallow, standard, or the larger frames which some few bee-keepers have in use. The movable cage (in two halves) shown at one end of the tray has been lifted from the extractor, and thrown open from the top (one-half resting against the end of the tray). Two shallow-frames are uncapped and placed in this case. The other half is then forced into position, closed against the two frames, and the whole is then lifted bodily out and placed in the extractor. The other cage is seen partly d rawn out from the extractor, thus showing that four shal- low frames can be extracted at the same time. The single frame standing alone is in jiosi- tion ready for the uncapping knife, finding a resting-place on another cross- bar, the cap- pirigs dropping on to a strainer of tinned woven wire raised £ in. from the bottom of tray. This bottom has a fall to a two- inch opening, through which the honey is conducted into a can placed on a shelf be- low, while the other end of the shelf pro- jects to carry an oil-stove with a can of water above for heating the knives. When two peoj^le are operating the un- capped frames can be placed in the tray ready for extracting (shown next the cage in the illustration). Between these frames and the cage is a wire-woven parti tion preventing the oappings as they accumulate mixing with the honey below. By adding a movable top 3 ft. by 2 ft. tc the stand it forms a useful table for general purposes; but the tray ma
