in there, but 1 do not know ; but I also do 

 not believe Mr. Wood ever saw a worker-bee 

 take an egg from one cell deposited by a queen 

 and carry it to another cell and place the 

 same egg in it, and see it develop into a 

 worker or a queen. 



Mr. Bartz's plan would not work, of course, 

 but it you have an old queen that wants to 

 supersede, just get a lot of natural cups and 

 stick with hot wax to the upper side of a hori- 

 zontal slit in a comb in the center of the hive, 

 and destroy all other queen-cell cups in the 

 hive, and if she is at the right stage of super- 

 sedure, in a couple of days you will have a 

 nice lot of queens in them, which, after they 

 hatch and are being fed, can be removed, and 

 process repeated as long as the queen lives, or 

 as you desire ; and if you follow that up with 

 several nice, gentle queens, week after week, 

 and year after year, as I have done, you will 

 surely see more than one queen backed in the 

 cells; and if your queens are of properly 

 selected stock, as they should be, you will 

 soon have a lot of bees that will surprise you 

 in what they can do. Let every queen be 

 reared from the best mother, and so on for 

 many years, and you will have no poor drones 

 to mate your choice queens. 



I have an apiary in San Bernardino Co., 

 Calif., and I believe if Mr. Wood will come 

 over to see me next summer, I can show him 

 some proof of what I have said.

Poor Season for Bees. 



The past season was rather poor for this 

 locality. White clover was very plentiful, 

 but the weather was so cold that several 

 colonies at my out-yard died of starva- 

 tion after the fields were white with clover. 

 The bees did not commence storing surplus 

 until near the last of June, and then the flow 

 lasted only two weeks. I never saw so much 

 swarming, and not a swarm stored any sur- 

 plus, and all of those that were not hived on 

 full icombs had to be fed for winter. Our
