Sometimes a groove is cut into the top-bar, which may receive the edge of the foundation, which is held by a wedge (Fig. 176), which is pressed in beside it. The above methods are successful, but probably will receive valuable modifications at the hands of the ingenious apiarists of our land. If we have frames with the V-shaped top-bar (Fig. 96), we may easily break the foundation and press it on, as shown iu Fig. 177. WIRBD FRAMES. But as foundation does sometimes fall or sag, so that many cells are changed to drone-cells, or warp in awkward shapes, especially if the hive is unshaded, or receives a full colony of bees with all its frames full of foundation, and as the wax is sometimes so brittle that it will not hold together,.
