The liquid honey is poured in at the opening, which unscrews; whilst being filled, the inside slide closing the opening through which the food passes into the feeding pan, should be shut down. When the reservoir is filled, the screw is made fast, and the slide being withdrawn, a wooden float pierced with small holes, through which the bees take the food, forms a false bottom, and rises and falls with the liquid. This feeder being on the syphon principle, like a poultry or bird water-fountain, is supplied from the reservoir until that is empty. A piece of glass is fixed in the side of the reservoir, in order that the bee-keeper may see when it is emptied. A flat piece of glass on the top prevents the bees from escaping, and through it they may be inspected whilst feeding. The bees find access to the feeder on to the perforated float through the central round hole, which is placed over a corresponding hole in the stock hive. NUTT'S DRAWER FEEDER. No. 9. [Illustration] This is the feeding drawer, alluded to in the explanation of the management of the No. 1 Nutt's Collateral Hive, for feeding at the bottom of the middle or stock box. The feeder is made of tin, and of a square form, so as to fit the drawer (see page 19). HONEY CUTTERS. No. 13. [Illustration] Honey Cutters are used for removing comb from boxes and glasses without damaging it. The flat bladed knife is for disconnecting the combs from the sides; the hook shaped one is for the same purpose, to be applied to the top or horizontal part of the box or glass. FUMIGATOR. No. 11.
