much sur|tlus honey this year, as I increased 

 from 4 colonies to 16, and so my coloniee are 

 not very strong. 



Thi; oUier day I discovered foul brood In 

 one of my colonies. It is not a very bad case 

 as yet, and 1 hope il won't spread to the other 

 colonies. 1 shall treat the colony next week. 

 I also wrote to Mr. Smith, the foul brood In- 

 spector, to take a look at my bees when he 

 comes up this way. Chas. B. Achard.

Forced Swarms— Finding Queens. 



I have Ijeen reading about forced swarming, 

 by C. Davenport, on page 453, so I thought to 

 give my experience. 



I had 16 colonies, spring count, and not 

 wanting to watch for swarms I undertook the 

 sbaldng process. I waited till I found queen- 

 cells started, then shook them on old combs 

 in S-frame hives. All but one of them stayed 

 and went to work at once. The one that left 

 I shook into a 10-frame hive on full sheets of 

 foundation. Now, probably the reason that 

 Mr. Davenport's bees left was they were 

 shaken on foundation. • 



I wish to know if there is any sure way to 

 'find a queen. I have one colony that I want 

 to change the queen. So I proceeded on a 

 tour of inspection, took frames all out and 

 looked them all over, and put them in another 

 hive. No queen found. Well, not to bo 

 beaten, I went over them again very care- 

 fully. Still no queen. So I thought I could 

 catch her by getting a queen-excluder, and 

 proceeded to strain the bees through the ex- 

 cluder. Still my lady was invisible. Well, I 

 put my thinking-cap on and thought a while.
