 a frame of briKKl and hees fritrii thcni to start 

 them a-^iOHHc, liecause It was trctlinjr late if I 

 expected honey. One coidil sec the improve- 

 ment In the two very (luickly. 



The latter part of May I noticed (pieen-cells 

 in the Carnlolan colony, and, knowlnir their 

 wlllint;ness to swarm, I iiuicUly chantred their 

 minds by maklnfr two nuclei, when it was 

 time for mating', placed cntrance-u'uards in 

 front of all hives except the .'i-bander.s, and I 

 now have twti trne-to-nanie of the ('arniolan- 

 Italian cross. Their bees resemble the :i- 

 banders, thonirh somewhat darker, and bands 

 narrower, with characteristics of Carniolans. 

 Rentle to the extreme, boll over when you 

 open the hive; and breeders, never had better. 

 It was no time until these two nuclei were as 

 stronjr as any In the lot. The only obiection 

 that prevents them becoming pojjular in the 

 hands of novices and apiarists havine many 

 colonies. Is their swarm Ins? propensity ; how- 

 ever, I must say I give them close attention, 

 and seem to catch them in the nick of time, 

 as they never swarmed for me. 



In the fall of 1901 I presented a friend of 

 mine with one of the fine Carniolans, because 

 he was " taken " with their gentleoess; but 

 last August he did away with them, " Be- 

 cause," he said, "that colony swarmed only 

 seven times in less than three months;" so it 

 seems I averted their swarming impulse, and 

 my friend failed to understand. 



The Carnlolan-Italians will always have my 

 closest attenilon. I find they winter better, 

 and breed up better in the spring. I helped 

 strengthen weaker colonies with frames of 

 brood and bees from them. 



My other strains have good qualifications 

 which these bees do not possess. 



I often thought If I could combine only the 

 good (luallfications of these different strains I 

 would have a race that might be christened 

 " Eureka " bees. Fred W. Muth.
