the hives you say have such, giving- cells from 

 the colonies which have those the nearest 

 ripe, and the work is done. If yovi have 

 stopped to think as we went along you will 

 see that you have bees of all ages in your 

 ■ made swarm.' just as there would be in a 

 natural swarm, and that each bee has its sac 

 full of honey the same as they do when they 

 come out themselves, the druiuming causing 

 them to till themselves full more completely 

 than they do when swarming. By being left 

 three-quarters of an hour to cluster in the box 

 they mark their location anew, the same as a 

 natural swarm, as you expressed a few 

 momentsago.'" 



" But is the old colony in as good condition 

 as if it had swarmed naturally J" 



"I think so. fully, and more so; for in nat- 

 ural swarming the tirst young queen does not 

 emerge from her cell in less than seven days. 

 unless the swarm has been kept back by bad 

 weather; while with our made swarm, and a 

 ripe cell being given, they will have a queen 

 in two days from the time of making. If 

 preferred, and you have them, a laying queen 

 can be given to the old colony." 



■* Why would not this be a good plan to 

 work an out-apiary, where there is no one to 

 take care of swarms when they issue ?" 



'• It would. And it is equally adapted for 

 those who can not be at home between the 

 hours of S a.m. and 4 p.m. to care for their 

 bees when swarming naturally."
