THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



entrance, and say, "You fellows get 

 busy and clean np the dripping honey 

 from your combs.' 



'"It may be that this work was done 

 too late ; but many times it has the 

 effect of starting the bees at work in 

 the super, 



''We again begin our rounds of the 

 hives. The next colony shows a roar 

 of bees at the entrance; but the bees 

 are not going in any particular direc- 

 tion — just flying aimlessly around in 

 front. This is a clear case of play- 

 spell on the part of the young bees. 

 We pass this hive for the time being, 

 and so on through the whole apiary. 

 When we get through we have, per- 

 haps, a dozen or so colonies with 

 empty supers along beside them. With 

 smoker in hand, and a hive-tool, we 



lift the covers of all colonies in one 

 row at once. We drop the hive-tool 

 and smoker, then proceed to put the 

 supers on, and tinally cover each one 

 of the colonies. In some cases we put 

 the super under, and sometimes we 

 put it above the super already on the 

 hive. In the same way we treat other 

 colonies in the other rows. 



"We now come back to the colony 

 that was having a play-spell. They 

 have quieted down ; but as they do not 

 seem to be flying heavily to the field 

 we pass them. In two or three days 

 we come back and go over the apiary 

 again, spending perhaps an hour in 

 watching the flight of the bees, and 

 opening up here and there a hive to 

 confirm surface indications at the en- 

 trance."
