Excerpt from Bee Keeping in Porto Rico Comb honey can be produced for home consumption, but beginners will find it much easier to produce extracted honey. The production of extracted honey is not only eas1er for the bee-keeper, but is much less work for the bees, than is the rais ing of honey in one pound sections. In making the extracted honey the comb is used over and over again by the bees instead of their having to build new ones each time, as is the case in making the pound sections. When the comb in the supers is filled with honey and well capped it 18 taken to the extracting house, uncapped, and the honey removed by the extractor. The empty comb is then given back to the bees for them to refill with honey, thus saving bees the labor of producing new wax. It is much easier to control the bees when extracted honey is raised, as there is less tendency on their part to swarm. Honey is raised in larger frames and the bees are not forced to so great an extent as in the production of comb honey made in small sec tions. Bees will not start to fill the one pound sections until they have filled every available cell in the brood chamber. This cramping of the brood starts the swarming fever; if they are not watched very little honey is produced in the section boxes and a swarm comes off, lessening the working force of the hive. This is not the case in the production of extracted honey, for, as soon as there is a ow, supers are added, provided the colony is strong and shows a tendency to store.
