The ^estion — 



Shall I Requeen Now? 



The cAns'wer — 



Authorities Urge Requeen ing During Late 

 July and August— Because 



— The fall queen 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 requeen- 

 ing this loss of bees is a real loss in honey later. 

 — Fall requeening brings this loss at a time when the least damage 

 is done. Requeen now. Do not wait till spring. 

 — Root Queens are hardy, disease-resisting, gentle, and prolific.
