proved to be the most valuable one in the 

 whole yard of 200. producing conob honey 

 to the value of *41 (at that time comb 

 honey was secured in glass boxes). The 

 bees of this colony were visibly longer- 

 bodied, and had the appearance of being a 

 stronger bee all around. Could it be be- 

 cause they had more space between combs, 

 that the brood became more fully devel- 

 voped ; 



Having often thought of the workings of 

 this particular colony, the idea never oc- 

 curred to me that the nine frames in the 

 space of ten had any bearing on the work- 

 ing qualities of the bees. Last season, hav- 

 ing a similar case (a hive I bought being an 

 8-frame Langstroth occupied by seven 

 frames), I began to reason that this matter 

 of more space for brood-combs may be 

 something that would be advisable to give 

 au investigation, as the colony on seven 

 frames, in an 8-frame hive, proved to do 

 the best of any, in the yard of 33. Now, 

 don't shake your head and say this is all 

 bosh, as there are a great many things we 

 don't know ; but with the most of mankind, 

 what they don't know would make the 

 largest book. 



I shall arrange five hives the coming sea- 

 son as stated above, and providing they 

 come up to the standard of the two cases 

 referred to, will give the result to the 

 readers of the American Bee Journal.

Rearing Early Queens. 



The sun set clear last night, and this is a 

 beautiful morning. It begins to look like 

 spring at last. It has been so wet that but 

 little small grain is in, and farmers are very 

 much behind with their work. In my ob- 

 servatory hive one queen hatcht out on the 

 eve of the 11th, on time. The others were 

 kept in until the morning of the 13th, and 

 it was (to me) interesting to hear the pip- 

 ing and quahking going on all day Monday. 

 I have wire screening next to the frames, 

 and glass outside ot that. By removing 

 the glass I can tap on the screening and 

 drive the bees where I choose (and occa- 

 sionally get a dab through the wires). 

 Yesterday morning they commenced to 

 tear open the remaining" queen-cells, and 

 by sticking some pieces of broom-corn 

 (taken from an old broom) through the 

 screening, I made a corral for each cell, 

 and then watcht the fun and saved my 

 queens. I did not give one of them to the 

 colony that had the laying worker, as I had 

 intended to, for, upon examination, I found 

 they had several queen-cells started, and 

 more than that, not a single drone found 

 his way back to the hive.
