Not illustrated. 1913 Excerpt: ...finding its way into the sections, but years of close observation have proven to me conclusively that when bees are at work in supers more or less of that stored in the brood-combs finds its way into the sections, or combs for extracted honey where such is worked for. In fact, quite a large part of the plan as given in this book is in having all sweets not consumed by the bees for their own living stored in the sections. Were it otherwise, the plan would not be complete; nor little if any better than some of the other plans. To emphasize this part, let me repeat what was said just a little way back: "By this plan all the honey not used in the actual production of bees goes into the section. If all of the sixty colonies were not ready for treatment on my fourth visit, then I put one or two hives of beeless brood on top of those not quite strong enough in bees to shake, setting this brood under the hive of reserve combs they have, so the brood will be all together. This gives such a colony so much extra room that they will not think of swarming during our next ten days' absence, notwithstanding the vast numbers of bees emerging from these two or three hives of brood. LATE SHOOK SWARMS FOR COMB HONEY. When I go to make the fifth visit the reserve combs are set down on the bottom-board, and the bees from all three hives are shaken out. This gives rousing "shook" colonies; and if a heavy yield of honey is on just at this A HIVE PREPARED ON THE DOOLITTLE PLAN. time, these later-made colonies will even surpass those shaken at the fourth visit, in section-honey production; and it sometimes happens that the yield of honey will make it profitable to shake colonies having three and four stories of brood, right at the beginning of the basswood flow, thus...
