 Nature's best ])lan," etc. I do not write to 

 oppose Mr. Alley or any one else, but I tin 

 want to say that whenever I rear nueeiis in 

 (jueenless eoloniuB I jfet the poorest (jiiecns, 

 and I consider those colonies Jonrd to rear 

 ([ueens and far from Nature's way of rearintj 

 them. Nature rniike.s arran^^enle^t,s for youn^r 

 queens before the old iiucen departs (except 

 in case of accident). When Nature lias not 

 been thwarted by man, but rijrhtly assisted. 

 good queens are tlie results, with a fertile 

 tjueen at liberty and layini; in the hive. 



I wonder if niy article on pat^e ^'tiS (1000) 

 was the start of this eoinmotion on reariuiJ 

 loni^-livi'd bees. Dr. (Jallup is on the line for 

 the production of the best (lueens, yet he ad- 

 mits lie does not know all. Aj^ain, on pa;;o 

 5111, Mr. Alley says: •" I liave found by actual 

 experiments that a colony of l)ees will not 

 rear pood (pieens while there is a fertile (|ueen 

 present. I don't want anyone to tell uie it 

 can be doiie, for I assert that it cannot be 

 done by any person," etc. Well, well, 1 inif^ht 

 assert it can be done /'y the tnrs, but not by 

 '*any person." I have demonstrated this to 

 be the only way I can depend on pettinj^ j^ood 

 queens, and when conditions are ri^ht, in per- 

 fect harmony with Nature.

Had to Feed All Summep. 



I have 40 colonies of bees, and I had to 

 feed them ail summer; it was so cold and 

 rainy that the bees could not get much chance 

 to work. I took otT 1800 pounds of fine bass- 

 wood honey, all in one-pound boxes.
