NUCLEI. — A one, two, or three frame nucleus will make an astonish- 

 ing record provided such a nucleus goes out, as ours do, on full worker 

 combs in wired frames, well supplied with bees and the proper amount 

 of l)rood. 



Our nuclei are shipueil by express in light wooden boxes with wire-screen 

 top and bottom. It is necessary to have on hand hives into which to 

 transfer the nuclei on arrival and then add frames containing full sheets 

 of foundation to the nuclei as they increase in strength.
