THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



Dec. 25, 1902. 



haps, work wonders. After much thought I 

 proceeded as follows: 



On June 2, 3:05 p.m., I transferred 500 

 freshly laid eggs from ten of my best queens 

 to cell-cups previously prepared. These .500 

 cups were given to 100 strong, queenless colo- 

 nies, five to each. On June 16. 4:07 i>.ru., at 

 which hour the pupaskinna castolhca is wont 

 to appear, 1 carefully removed the 500 nymphs 

 (royal) from these cradles and laid them in a 

 row on a downy strip of cotton-batting. Af- 

 ter much scrutiny I selected the fairest of the 

 500 and most carefully set her to one side. 

 With a hypodermic syringe I now took the 

 Uvea of the 499 remaining princesses, carefully 

 drawing each out through the pupaskinna 

 castottica (umbilical cord— E. Gallup). With 

 considerable skill I now injected through the 

 pupaskinna castofHca of the selected nymph 

 these Ufes at the rate of 15 per minute until I 

 had injected 299. The remaining 200 were re- 

 served for a most delicate operation. 



By the aid of the X-rays (yes, I knew all 

 about the X-ray at the time, but refrained 

 from giving my discovery to an incredulous 

 world), I now injected 100 of the remaining 

 lives into each ovary of my princess — destined 

 to be a queen full of years. 



It required the utmost skill to insert the 

 syringe under the third abdominal ring and 

 into the delicate ovary. Had it not been for 

 the fact that the subject had been given 299 

 lives through the pupaskinna castotHca I fear 

 that I should have failed here. 



The royal subject was now put into a cell 

 and given to a nucleus in a glass-hive so I 

 could watch what followed. I tell you true, 

 I watched there 55 hours and 10 minutes. The 

 queen first began to show vitality at the end 

 of the 31st hour, by emitting piping that 

 caused the glass of the hive to shiver. At the 

 close of the 32nd hour she came forth, an 

 ordinary queen except for her exceeding ac- 

 tivity. 



In less than four hours she showed signs of 

 anxiety to take her marriage-flight. My task 

 was not yet done. 



I had the day before prepared 1000 lusty 

 drones from the best stock in my yards. The 

 task of dissecting out the male elements of 

 each was a tremendous one, but I succeeded 

 in getting at least three grains of the rich 

 fluid. This fructificative fluid was injected 

 into the retaining-sac of the queen. Here 

 again the excessive vitality of the subject was 

 called upon, not to mention the elasticity of 

 the retaining-sac. The queen laid her first 

 egg three hours and ten minutes from the 

 moment the syringe ceased its work. 



Such a queen ! A brief mention of what she 

 did in her 10th year will show her worth. I 

 kept her in her 10th year with a colony of her 

 three-year-old workers. I kept no other 

 queens except two in my log-gums and one in 

 a straw skep. This queen laid all the eggs 

 for my 20 regular colonies. She would fill 10 

 frames in 24 hours. I simply set in empty 

 frames as I took out full ones to give to the 

 other colonies. 



Space will not allow me to tell much about 

 the wonderful work of the mammoth 20 colo- 

 nies. I will merely state that the workers 

 never die of old age. They all meet death 

 through violent causes. (I might digress to
