Excerpt from The American Bee-Keeper, Vol. 1: January December, 1891 Experience shows that the honey gathered is larger when the bees have ready-made combs, when there is nothing to do except to empty the honey into receptacles already prepar ed, than under the usual conditions. During the flow of any kind of honey, the bees cannot gather all of it, but they will gather more, or they will have more time to gather it if there be no comb to build. The greatest success comes, if at the beginning of the flow of honey, a crate of ready-made combs be placed in the surplus chamber. This gives the bees a great impulse. If the brood chamber be full, as it ought to be, except laying room for the queen, there is no place for honey, except in the surplus combs to put it, and there it goes with a rush.
