Hint # 28 - Comb honey
Nothing matches the taste of biting into a lump
of fresh comb honey. That is why there is always a keen demand
for sections of natural honeycomb. The latest equipment makes
the production of comb sections a little simpler.
The
picture shows:
1. Bindaree plastic section holder (order item #
06537)
2. plastic section holder with foundation cut to
size and pressed to the lugs of the section holder
3. a plastic section holder filled by the bees
4. a plastic section holder in a plastic section
holder box (order item # 02495), ready for sale
The
mechanics
A standard Bindaree wooden frame will hold 8 comb
sections with a couple of adjustments.
The frame needs to be assembled with the top bar
turned upside down, and you will notice some wooden padding on
the right hand end to hold the sections firmly.
Other considerations
To produce comb sections, hives must be very populous
and on a heavy honey flow.
