Swarms Enterinff Empty Hives 



I notice on page 281 a question about get- 

 ting swarms to enter empty hives. I would 

 like to liDow how it is done. When the bees 

 swarm I place an empty hive wherever 1 have 

 cut a bee-lree. The places are about a mile 

 apart. James L. A. Miller.

Moving Bees 



I have seen a great deal about having 

 trouble in moving bees a short distance. I 

 moved my bees about 300 feet without any 

 trouble on Feb. 20, and they had two flights 

 before I moved them. I don't think any one 

 would have trouble if it were done right.

Giving Afterswarms Combs of Brood 



In reply to G. M. Doolittle's advice to a be- 

 ginner to give to a second or afterswarm a 

 comb of brood, that it is all right from the 

 mother colony where no eggs are to be seen, 

 or he may And that virgin queen right in 

 front of that second swarm, killed by its own 

 bees. It might work with genteel Italians, 

 but not with cross bees. I give brood to first 

 swarms to insure i heir remaining. I never 

 allow eggs where a queen is to mate, not even 

 in baby nuclei, and they general } finish the 

 best queens of all. 



1 have been a bee-keeper tor 40 5ei>rs, and 

 for 16 years have secured my liv-.-U from 

 them. One don't need 100 colonies to sup- 

 port a family, when he knows how to handle 

 bees. John H. Gcnthbr.

Honey Sold in Light- Weight 

 Sections 



I have sold goods (groceries) for over 20 

 years, and it is my observation that 9 out of 

 10 people will say that they don't believe 

 there is a pound of honey in a section, and it 

 was only by weighing it tor them that it was 

 possible to make a sale, and not always then. 

 But I very seldom failed to make a sale when 

 the section weighed a full pound.

Selling Light-Weight Honey 



As to selling honey by light weight, when I 

 first commenced with section honey 1 used 

 I's sections, and found that the bees did not 

 build in all sections alike. One-half bulged
