The invention OF the movable frame
and Of the honey-extractor. has az
forded beekeepers the means of taking
out Of the hives the combs loaded
with honey, and of returning them to
the bees when empty without damag-
Ing them or injuring single bee
Extracted honey comes nearer be-
ing staple article than does comb.
and I believe If we exert ourselves
more in the introduction Of extracted
honey the future Will see the greater
portion OF our honey sold In the liquid
form.
1t costs so much less to produce it
and prepare 1t for market and we
can produce so much more per colony
that We can sell it for about half what
we get for the comb honey and give
US the same profit
It is estimated that It takes about
Is pounds of honey to make one
pound of comb.
II honey is extracted from The
combs without mutilating them and
the combs replaced in the hives. one
can obtain nearly twice as much
honey.
Extract each variety of honey by
itself, if possible. but it is not always
possible for the bees viii persist in
working on sumac when we would
like clover honey
| prefer to do the extracting in its
season as soon as 1t is fit. One must
be guided by the thickness of the
honey-it should be left with the bees
until ripe enough to keep.
believe all beekeepers should be
very particular about this in order to
be able to have reliable article.
II honey is extracted while raw or
very thin. it viii soon take a rank,
strong taste and really is not worth
half the price.
My honey is all left or the hives
until the latter part of September.
BY this time the bees have thoroughly
