too, as I believe some others can rear 

 just as good queen-bees as I can. 



The frame shown on page 737, and 

 again herewith, is not intended to have 

 cells drawn in, but merely to hold them 

 from the time they are sealed until 

 they are to be caged (S or 6 days) in 



colony. I keep 4-frame nuclei for this- 

 purpose, letting them fertilize a queen 

 every other week. Then a laying 

 queen is introduced in the colony in 

 which the cells were completed. If the 

 same queen that was taken from them 

 is returned (they can be kept caged), I 



some queenless colony. The cells are 

 grafted and placed between the top- 

 bars of a colony that has not been 

 queenless longer than 12 to 18 hours. 

 (I usually make the colony queenless 

 in the evening, and graft the cells the 

 next noon.) By removing one frame 

 from a 10-frame hive one can spread 

 the frames in three places, and three 

 cells may be placed in each of the out- 

 side rows, and four in the center one. 

 In S days the cells (I usually get about 

 8) will be sealed, and should be removed 

 to the frames and placed in a queenless 



don't bother about destroying the cells 

 that they may have built on the combs, 

 but I give them a good smoking at 

 sundown, and let their queen run in at 

 the entrance. If honey isn't coming 

 in freely I feed honey — sugar is not fit 

 lo rear queen-bees on, if I am to be the 

 judge. 1 dilute the honey with water, 

 and get about the same results as 

 though honey were coming in. A new 

 colony is used each time, and they will 

 keep on pounding away in the supers 

 almost the same as if they had not 

 been disturbed. The colony should
