Excerpt from The Bee-Keepers' Review, 1900, Vol. 13: A Monthly Journal Devoted to the Interest of Honey Producers After the bees are brushed off, the combs are placed in a box upon a wheel barrow. When the box is filled it is tak en to the honey-house. This box for transferring the combs to the honey-house is made out of a cracker box, by putting handles on the ends, and pieces on the inside on each side about an inch from the top, to hang the combs upon. In extracting we have an organized crew; each man having his own work. One man wheels the honey to the house, another uncaps and fills the barrels, and another turns the extractor. We have an uncapping can with a wire basket hanging inside the can, in which the cap pings are dropped and allowed to remain until the honey drains out, when they are put to soak in water, the liquid being used for making vinegar. The cappings are finally rendered into wax which is converted into foundation. The extract or we use is the Cowan Reversible, which is a great improvement over the Novice, as one does not have to stop and take the combs out to turn them. After the honey has been extracted and strained it is drawn 03 into barrels, each holding two hundred and fifty pounds. We prefer this size package because it is commodious, and well adapted to the storing of large quantities of honey which could not be cared for so easily in small packages; and also because it is a very cheap package.

Excerpt from The British Bee Journal, and Bee-Keepers Adviser, Vol. 15: January December, 1887 During the year considerable attention has been paid to the introduction of new races of bees. From Cyprus, Carniola, the Holy Land, South Africa, America, be, there have been considerable importations. These attempts to introduce bees of superior powers have found much encouragement amongst our leading bee-masters, but the English black bee still continues to hold its place in the estimation of the great body of bee-keepers. The imports of honey for the year are not yet complete; we hope, however, in the course of the present month to have full statistics before us, when we propose to take the opportunity of dealing with both the honey imports for 1886 and the wax imports and exports for 1885.
