A Queen=Cell Detector . 



Mr. R. F. Holtermann has invented what he calls a 

 Queen-cell Detector. Near the center of the brood- nest 

 he makes a very attractive place for the bees to build 

 queen-cells. If they build cells anywhere, it is almost 

 certain to be in this spot. Then he has an arrang-wnent 

 whereby it is the work of oi ly a moment for tne bee- 

 keeper to get a view of this spot, and see if cells are be- 

 ing built— all this without any opening of the hive, or 



any handling of the supers or brood-combs This plan 

 is described in the Bee-keepers' Review for June. Il- 

 lustrations showing two views of the arrangement— 

 both inside and outside of the hive.
