"The increased demand for section comb honey, or honey in the comb, is the incentive which has encouraged the writing of this book. The production of fancy comb honey has for many years been far below the demand for this fine article. ...This book is the result of a lifetime study of the equipment and practices for the production of fine comb honey. It is also the purpose of this book to encourage only the finest quality of comb honey to be offered to our markets. The writer does not insist to the reader that success is only possible when using all the special equipment as used by him. The only exception is that I am convinced that the ventilated 'T' super is the most valuable piece of equipment for comb honey, besides the one-piece honey section." Chapters include: Comb honey; Choosing a location; Comb honey equipment; Colony management; Care and storage of comb honey; Marketing comb honey; Bulk comb honey; Beekeeping records; The future for comb honey.
