_Storing the Candy._--The fondant is best stored in earthen crocks, either as a mass or in the feeders. These preserve the normal moisture. Over the mass should be placed a sheet of paraffin paper upon which is a moist cloth or towel. The crock should be covered. Queen-cage candy should always be kept in this way in order to preserve its consistency. Similarly, candy molded in feeders may be stored in large crocks or tins. _Remaking the Candy._--If at any time the candy hardens from any cause, either in making, storage or in use, it may be softened by the application of a few drops of water. Furthermore, it may be removed from the molds and recooked to the desired consistency. To recook, add a small amount of water and boil as before. [Illustration: FIG. 3.--When the bees of a strong colony eat up the candy almost entirely, they not infrequently build combs, and have been known even to rear brood, in the box. This shows (upper part of the picture, in corners) the remaining candy upon which the bees were still at work, also having attached combs to the glass. Some beekeepers have removed such a box of combs and brood, starting there from a new colony. In order to get the correct relation of the picture, hold it directly above your head. The combs will then appear pendulous from the glass, and in their correct position, as if lifted off from the tops of the frames.] End of Project Gutenberg's Soft Candy for Bees, by Dr. Burton N.
