But few who use the baby nuclei advocate 

 giving them even ripe queen-cells, and I think 

 it can be done to advantage only when the 

 weather ie warm. The man who uses the 

 baby nuclei to advantage is he who males 

 queens in them. The vitality of a queen is 

 not made to depend upon her mating, but 

 upon her rearing. 



For the beneUt of those who are using, or 

 expect to use, the baby nuclei, I will give our 

 plan. We have cells built in full colonies, 

 and when sealed we place them in a nursery 

 cage in a full colony where there is a laying 

 queen, between 2 frames of brood. Here we 

 have warmth and moisture suQicient to hatch 

 them properly, and they will be fed by the 

 young bees through the wire gauze. Here 

 they should remain until old enough to male. 

 The reason for placing the cage in a colony 

 with a laying queen is that if it is placed in 

 a queenless colony when the queens are 4 or 5 

 days old the bees will bill the young queens 

 through the wire and kill them. 



I claim that a queen mated in a baby nu- 

 cleus is the safest queen, and I am not alone 

 in this. Mr. Gill, of Colorado, tells how he 

 lost $200 through a shipment of queens he re-
