Look at a bit of emp- ty honey comb; what is the shape of the cell as you look down in- to it? (2). What is the shape of the bottom of the cell? (3). How does the bottom of the cell join the bottom of the cell opposite? Explain how honey comb economizes space as storage for honey, and why an economy of space is of use to bees in the wild state. (4). In the hive is the honey comb placed so that the length of the cells are horizontal or up and down? (5). Obsefve honey comb containing honey; how is the honey re- tained in the cells? (6). Carefully take off a cap from the honey cell and see if you can find the six girders that extend inward from the angles of the cell to support the circular portion in the center. (7). By what means is the honey comb made fast to the sides of the section or the hive? (8). Study a bit of foundation comb and note where the bees will pull out the wax to form the cell. (9). Whv and how is foundation comb used by the bee-keeper? (10). For what purpose besides storing honey are the cells of honey comb used bv the bees?. A "section" of honey. Note the six girders in the cap of each 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 Cornell University.
