THE INTRODUCTION AND PROPAGATION OF 

 LIGURIANS. 



{Continued f ram page 72.) 



PnEsn]iiiNG tbrtt the intending propagator of the Italian race 

 has by the mode which I have already described, been enabled 

 to establish one or more stocks of common bees in raoveable- 

 comb hives, I shall assume that he has ordered some Italian 

 queens which he is anxious to substitute for the reigning 

 monarchs. Let me then lay it down aa an axiom, that younri 

 bees receive an alien ipiren mucli more readiUj than old one::, and 

 that, therefore, the illustrious stranger runs comparatively 

 little risk if she can be introduced to a population consisting 

 entirely of juveniles. Supposing, therefore, that it is summer 

 time when advice is received of the approaching advent of the 

 Ligiirian queens, a similar number of artiiioial swarms should 

 be formed by removal in the following manner : — 



During the middle of a fine day, when the bees are in full 

 work, look over the combs until the queen is discovered upon 

 one of them', which place in the centre of an empty hive, and, 

 if possible, support it on either side by a spare worker-comb. 

 Then bring the combs of the old hive together so as to leave 

 the vacancy on one side, close it, and put it in a new position 

 a sb )rt distance off, placing the new hive with the queen on 

 the old stance. Every bee which has onee taken wing will in 

 the course of a day or two return to the old jilaoe, and thus 

 make up a swarm, which, having a fertile queen and a comb 

 full of brood, will probably do exceedingly well, whilst the old 

 hive remains in the exclusive possession of the rising gene- 

 ration. On the eighth or ninth day (or sooner, if the Italians 

 come to hand), thelattershonld be carefully examined by lifting 

 the combs out one after the other, slialiing off at the same time 

 most of the bees so as to make sure that no royal cell escapes 

 notice, and then carefully excise every one of them. If the 

 arrival of the Italians be still longer delayed, this operation 

 must be repeated a few days afterwards, so as to make sure of 

 the extinction of the recent dynasty. When the alien queen 

 arrives she must be first introduced to her future subjects 

 under the protection of a queen-cage, in which she should be 

 confined with two or three of her own workers until the next 

 day, when she may be liberated, and when it is tolerably 

 certain she will be well received. With regard to queen-cages, 

 I may add that I always use an ordinary wire pipe-cover pressed 

 into the surface of a brood-oomb until its edges come in contact 

 with the "partition wall," in the manner recommended by 

 Eleino. 



• Examine this comb carefully, and soe that there are no royal cells 

 upon it. If any are discovered, they should be at once excised.
