For a number of years Mr. Weed, who is a persistent worker, has been experimenting along this line, and, seemingly, has finally and completely won. From present indications, it is apparent that this latest invention will merit an equally eminent position with the movable-frame hive, the honey-extractor, the bellows bee-smoker, comb foundation, and many others of the greatest inventions of the past in the realm of apiculture. One beauty of this new comb seems to be that the bees will start storing honey in it at once, and that by its use almost as much comb honey as extracted can be produced. At present, the manufacturers are able to make the new comb only in sufficient quantity to supply samples for illustration. But we doubt not it will be offered for sale through the advertising columns of the various bee-papers in good time for next season's use. We have on our desk samples of the new partly-drawn comb- one of the samples having been cut out of a section after the bees had drawn it out further and also continued it downward from the original drawn starter, showing how perfectly the bees accept it and unite it with their own natural comb.
