and he gave it only a partial one, I believe. 

 It seems to me that if it were so that a colony 

 loses its field-force twice in the same spring a 

 man having the apioultural standing which 

 Mr. Alexander has, instead of having prac- 

 ticed it for 30 years, would have discarded it 

 long ago. He advised practicing it in the fol- 

 lowing way : 



The 2 colonies are back in their normal con- 

 dition from 15 to 20 days before the first fruit- 

 blosfoms open. Then if proper precautions 

 are used it is possible to move colonies a short 

 distance at any time during the season with 

 very little loss. My bees have not had flights 

 this month to exceed 20 hours all told, and to- 

 day is April 30. The editor of the Review 

 says that the strong ones lost as much as the 

 weak ones gained. I can not entirely agree 

 with him there, as I think that the 3 colonies 

 placed one above the other would be able to 

 keep the inside of the hives at a higher tem- 

 perature than when placed on their separate 

 stands, as part of the heat of the strong one 

 would, in place of going out of the entrance, 

 help to keep the upper one warm, and the 

 same amount of bees would be able to cover 

 and rear more brood in that way than when 

 on their separate stands. 



Then there is another great advantage in 

 protecting the weak colonies from being 

 robbed, which, as every large bee-keeper 

 knows, means something in the spring when 

 the bees have nothing to do but to look for 

 mischief. As for the loss of queens, I think 

 that will be very slight, if proper attention Is 

 paid to it, for out of the 36 colonies I treated 

 last spring I didn't lose one. I was very much 

 pleased with the practice, and while I am not 

 as enthusiastic as Mr. Pearce seems to be, I 

 am sorry that I can not give it a further trial 

 this spring, as my colonies are all very strong. 

 But I will certainly give it another trial at the 

 earliest opportunity, and hope that a goodly 

 number of beekeepers throughout the coun- 

 try will do so this spring. H. F. Strang.

Baby Nuclei 



This subject has presented itself as one 

 worthy of consideration through the answer 

 given me by Mr. Hasty, on page 104. I am 

 ready to admit that if queens were reared in 

 baby nuclei they would be poorer queens thin 

 those reared in the old way, and those that 

 are hatched in baby nuclei are never better.
