able, except lliul the Ihiril ii|i|>lieH In imiiiiiil 

 swarms as well. His foiii' [loiiits are llieso: 



1. Hwainiiiig can bo contmlleil at out-yards 

 with siiiall brood-charnberK, when run for 

 loiiili honey. This is of tremendous Impor- 

 tance, if true. 



2. A l)rushed swarm nuiy lie slrouffer and 

 produce more comb honey than a natural one, 

 because the former may Inive alt the lljinj; 

 bees, and subseiiuently receive, at a second 

 drive, the brood that is liati-hed from the par- 

 ent colony. If reports may be believed, such 

 a powerful force of bees In one brood-nest 

 means a lar^^er yield of comb honey. 



;i. It appears that starters are just as ijood 

 as full sheets of foundation, under some con- 

 ditions at least. If this is true, it will save 

 buyin;; some brood foundalion. If a younj^ 

 queen is in the hive, and the supers are put 

 on soon enou;;h, it is asserted that worker- 

 brood will be reared about as fast as the i|ueen 

 can lake it. But suppose that drone-comb is 

 built out instead of worker, no threat harm 

 results, it isarjiued; for such comb can be 

 cut out and melted up, for every one knows 

 that wax sells at afjood price; and sorue there 

 are who believe that wax and coaibhoney can 

 be produced simultaneously, with profit and 

 to advantage. 



Yes, it has been urffed in times past that, in 

 a heavy honey-llow, bees will secrete wax in- 

 mliiiitiirily : that if the wax-scales are not 

 used in comb-building: they will be wasted. 

 The inference is, that the brushed swarm with 

 foundation starters can and does utilize this 

 surplus wax. If this be true, the foundation 

 bill can be cut down ~5 percent, and, in addi- 

 tion, save wax-scales. 



4. Another incidental result — that pointed 

 out by Mr. Howe in this issue — is that foul 

 brood can be kept under control: for the 

 brushed-swarui jilan has some of the princijial 

 features of the McEvoy treatment of curin;^ 

 this disease. I believe there may be some- 

 thing: in this; for years affo, in our own yards, 

 we cured somethinjj like .50 or GO colonies of 

 foul brood l>y merely shaking the bees on 

 frames of foundation. Then the plan of 

 brushing the swarms, or shaking them, will 

 hold either foul brood or black brood iu 

 check; and perhaps cure it altogether iu 

 localities where the disease is raging.
