 depends on circumstances. , 



2 Whether the queen goes up or not you 

 will not be likely to get as good results as to 

 leave all the brood. Might try one or two 

 cases to see for yourself.

4 What are the exact measurements, in 

 side of a 10 frame hive, full story/ 



5 What is the best method to.introduce a 

 queen, and when is the proper t^^e^Y^^^ 



Answers.-i. a) The distance varies from 

 half an inch to 2 inches. W About % inch. 



2 It is not necessary unless for some rea- 

 son you want to prevent the queen from 

 going where workers areallowed to pass- In 

 working for section honey, excluders are 

 not needed provided the sections are fi/Ud 

 with foundation. Generally they are used 

 for extracted honey during the time supers 



are on. 



3 Yes provided there is no crack any- 

 where about the hive that will let the queen 



°" There has been no little variation, and I 

 don-t know that there's any l^xed standard. 

 There is however, a standard for the Lang- 

 stroth frame, which is iiHx<M. and the hive 

 mustbeof such size that there shall not be 

 less than H inch between the ends of the 

 frames and the sides of the hive, and be- 

 tween top bars of the lower story and bot- 

 tom-bars of story over. 



S Some say one way is best, some another. 

 Perhaps the most general way is by means 

 of a provisioned queen-cage, allowing the 

 bees to eat the candy and release the queen.
