Mr. Hasty's Afterthought 



(Continued from paire 536 ) 



rect, no doubt. Why 7 On the whole 

 it is a little surprising that as high as 

 42 percent should so disappear in 20 

 years. That's a bad, big rock on 

 which efforts to breed the non-swarm- 

 ing bee are going to go to wreck. 

 All'ee same, boys, breed that non- 

 swarming bee. In choosing your 

 " timber " to start with, choose some 

 totally disinclined to swarm, if you 

 can find such, and some not totally, 

 but only sotnezv/ial disinclined. And 

 with both sorts great care about vigor 

 should be exercised all along — every- 

 thing inclining to peter out like the 

 above, to be thrown overboard at once. 

 The puzzle why colonies with 40 

 pounds of honey don't swarm seems to 

 me to be an easy one. Abnormal. 

 Normal colony uses up the honey rear- 

 ing young bees, and don't have 40 

 pounds in swarming-time. Such bees 

 dreadfully lethargic in disposition — 

 else queen a poor one, I ween. Page
