 from the parent colony to the new in certain 

 cases; ^Yhen I just can't induce the bets 

 to begin work in the super, then I know there

 never swarmed. 



- It seems, too, that when my bees make up 

 their minds to swarm they just will. I have 

 out out queen-cells and had them swarm, 

 leaving the parent colony hopelessly queen- 

 less, and that, too, after putting them back 

 every day for nearly a week, until I gave up 

 in despair and gave them a new hive.

 of honey; I also consider it the finest way to
