THE QUESTION- 

 SHALL I REQUEEN NOW? 



THE ANSWER-^ 



I AUTHOHITIES URGE REQUEENING DURING 



'::J^''^''^^LAJE JULY AND AUGUST-BECAUSE 



Thi%z\l\:^een is cheaper. Unlike an old queen, a new queen in the fall will lay well, regardless 

 of the fall honey flow. At least two full cycles of brood should be laid by the new queen, insuring a 

 strong colony for wintering. 



Requeening means a break in egg-laying of nearly one week, with the consequent loss of brood 

 and bees. With spring requeening this loss of bees is a real loss in honey later. 



Fall requeening brings this loss at a time whon the least damage is done. Requeen now. Do 

 not wait till spring.
