DADANT & SONS, Hamilton, III. 



left a super of hatching brood on the old 

 stand, dividing the super of honey between 

 them, and finished filling each super with 

 foundation. May 21 both hives were full of 

 bees and honey, the new one having built 

 over 30 queen-cells. I then divided the bees, 

 brood and honey of the new colony, and filled 

 up with foundation, as before, again moving 

 the old queen to furnish fleld-bees for the sec- 

 ond new one. June 16 the old queen came 

 out with a swarm. July 1 and 11 I made 2 

 more swarms, and as there was a big honey- 

 flow they were all strong. I moved the old 

 colony on July 1, but on July U I found it 

 could not stand a second move. As there 

 were 4 comb-honey supers on the May 10th 

 swarm, 1 moved the May 21st swarm to fur- 

 nish field-bees for the last new one. I now 

 had 6 strong colonies, and run them to the 

 best advantage with the following result: 



I took off 617 pounds of extracted honey, 

 which I sold at an average price of 7'^ cents 

 per pound, and 16 24-pound cases of comb 

 honey which I sold at S2.50 per case. I also 

 left an extra super for wintering on each of 

 the 6 colonies. 



The honey score of the 6 colonies is as fol- 

 lows:

I am wintering them in 2-stury hives, and I 

 think there is honey enough in either story to 

 carry them through. The bees seem to win- 

 ter better in this way, with less spring 

 dwindling, and they build up faster in the 

 spring. 



In taking off the honey I boxed up the full 

 combs and hauled them home, and after ex- 

 tracting the honey from them I melted the
