ABOUT HONEY.
It it customary to speak of clear
honey, tbat it honey free from comb,
?a etraioed honey ; customary by
cause tbe expression cornea from us?
age before tbe improvemeote iu bee
keeping, one of which being tbe
honey extractor.
Tbe hooey extractor ia a machine
by which the combs containing honey
are whirled around, in a large can,
with sufficient velocity to throw tbe
hooey from the combs. The honey
ie caught upon tbe inside of the can
and rune down and oot through tbe
fanoet at the bottom and into a vea
ho I placed there for 'that purpose.
Only the clear honey is thrown out,
the pollen, or bee bread, and young
beee remaioiog in tbe combs, which,
being returned to the hives, the
strength of tbe colony is not mate
rially impaired. Any very young
beee, in the larva state, that may be
thrown out of tbe comba float down
upon the surface of the hooey and
are skimmed off without being killed
or mixed in the honey.
Those who have seen the old fash?
ioned way of preparing atrained
hooey, know that extracted honey is
in every way a much nicer and a
better article than strained honey.
In fact, no hooey is ever "strained."
Being very heavy?weighing 12
pounds to the gallon, while water
weigha ooly about 8$ pounds?hooey
clarifies itself by settling and forcing
everything else to the top.
In making "strained" hooey io
tbe eld fashioned way, tbe comb
hooey after being oot out of tbe
"gum" and* containing honey, bee
bread and young beee, all interspers?
ed through the comb, is taken in the
bands and squeezed, so ae to press
oot the honey. Iu this squeezing
process the soft portions of the bee
bread mix with tbe hooey, aod also the
white fluid tbat comes from the mash?
ing of the bee larva Occasionally
ilso dead adult bees being mixed
imoog the mass of combs and honey,
ire squeezed aioog with the lot, it
being impossible to see and pick oot
ivery ooe Of course, ss before
itated, the hooey clarifies itself by
itanding, and forcee the bee-bread
aod piecee of comb to the top.
But that is the way "strained"
boney ia prepared. The writer has
seen it' made, and in his younger
days, helped to prepare it
Advanced bee keepers only use
tbe term "strained'' hooey io order
to be understood by those who want
Blear honey?tbat is hooey "extract?
or from the comb It is time tbat
the masses should be educated as to
the meaning of the two terms, aud
thus be able to decide whether they
really want "strained'' bouey or
"extracted" boney The "strained"
boney is still made, aud can frequent
ly be bought cheaper tbao the "ex
tracti d" hooey?but wboo you know
tbe difleience, which would you pre
fer ?
Those who keep bees in "gums''
end boxes csnnot, of course, rosku
sny kind but "strained" houey ; but
when movable-frame hives can be
obtained so cheaply, a bee keeper is
behind the times to use tho old fash?
ioned "gums " J*here is uo patent
on them, and any one can make them
at borne if he chosee, but it is cheap
er to buy hives in the flit?tbat is all
the pieces cut to tbe right size aod
ready to be put together? and they
can be nailed op and painted iu odd
limee at home They can be bought
from dealers in nee supplies cheaper
aud more accurately made tbsn if
made st home by tbe average oar
peotet .
rVith beee in movable frame hives
it will psy one who has a bslf dozen
hives to own a hooey extractor. Tbe
boney is extracted much eaeier than
il can be prepsred in the old wsy,
and if the bees sre managed right
tbe increase in production will pay
tbe cost.
The bee keeper of the present day
ahould read op on the many improve*
ments in bee keeping ??nd get him?
self in the procession There is
profit in bees if managed on im?
proved methods, but to keep bees iu
"gums" snd sell "strained" honey ia
too much behind the tirnea
