GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



Swarming Prevented! 



SOME three years ago Mr. C. Monette (now deceased), writ- 

 ing from Minnesota, under the nom de plume of C. Daven- 

 port, stated in the American Bee Journal that he had dis- 

 covered a method of absolutely preventing swarming ; that he 

 had given the treatment to hundreds of colonies, and not one 

 of them swarmed. Eventually, however, he declined to give 

 the process, saying it would make bee-keeping too easy and 

 honey too cheap. From the hints dropped by Mr. Monette, 

 Dr. Henry Jones, of Minnesota, by an ingenious process of 

 reasoning worthy of Sherlock Holmes, hit upon what he 

 believes (and I agree with him) was the exact plan followed 

 by Mr. Monette. The doctor has been experimenting with 

 this plan since 1906, going in a little deeper each year, this 

 year using a little over 50 colonies, and swarming was abso- 

 lutely prevented under very exacting conditions. 



There is no chpping of the queen's wings, no caging of 

 queens (not even necessary to look for queens), no pinch- 

 ing of queen-cells, no shook-swarming, no dividing, no extra 

 expense, plan simple and easy to carry out, and a good crop 

 of honey easily secured. 

 The doctor has described his plan in a little book that retails for 25 cents, but I have 

 made arrangements whereby I can club it with the BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW for only 

 $1.20. That is, I will send the REVIEW for 1910, and the book, for only $1.20; and, so 

 long as the supply of back numbers holds out, I will send all of the numbers of 1909 free 

 to the man who sends me $1.20 for the book, and the REVIEW for 1910.
