Italianizing Bees 



14Atf 



I want to Italianize 2 colonies of blacks in 

 double hive-bodies, Danzenbaker size, by giv- 

 ing capped cells. 



1. How would it work to put a queen-ex- 

 cluder between the 2, with the old queen in 

 one and the cell in the other? 



2. Should the cell be above or below? 



3. Could I not put the cell below with one 

 entrance also below, and get the young queen 

 fertilized and laying before removing the old 

 queen? or, would it be better to have an 

 opening for the upper story? 



4. Wouldn't they be likely to swarm if the 

 old queen could get out? 



5. Would the bees destroy the cell if not 

 placed in a cell-protector? 



Of course, if the first question is not practi- 

 cal, the others need no answer. I got the 

 idea from an article by Doolittle on queen- 

 rearing, where he has cells completed in a 

 hive with a laying queen. My idea is to do 

 this just before the honey-flow begins, and I 

 want to keep the old queen at work as long 

 as possible, you see. New York. 



Answer — Please allow me to answer your 

 questions in a bunch. I have been able to 

 have a young queen fertilized in one story 

 while the old queen is laying in another, but 

 generally she turns up missing about that 

 time, although there is no trouble in having a 

 young queen mature in that way. I'm not 

 sure what becomes of the young queen after 

 she is a few days old. Tou will not generally 

 find that the colony will swarm on account of 

 the presence of the young queen. I think jou 

 would not come very far from what you desire 

 in something like this way: Put a cell in 

 either upper or lower story, with the queen 

 in the other story, and a separator between. 

 When the young queen is 3 or 4 days old re- 

 move the old queen and the separator.
