Queens can be reared in the upper stories 

 of hives used for extracted honey, where a 

 queen-excluding honey-board is used, which 

 are as good, if not superior, to Queens 

 reared by any other process; and that, too, 

 while the old Queen is doing duty below, 

 just the same as though Queens were not 

 being reared above. This is a fact, though 

 it is not generally known. 



If you desire to know how this can be 

 done — how to have Queens fertilized in up- 

 per stories, while the old Queen is laying 

 below — how you may safely introduce any 

 Queen, at any time of the year when bees 

 cay fly— all about the different races of 

 bees — all about shipping Queens, queen- 

 cages, candy for queen-cages, etc. — all 

 about forming nuclei, multiplying or unit- 

 ing bees, or weak colonies, etc. ; or, in fact 

 everything about the queen-business which 

 you maj' want to know, send for"Doolit- 

 tle's Scientific Queen-Rearing;" a book of 

 1 70 pages, which is nicely bound in cloth, 

 and as interesting as any story. Price,
