American ^e 'Joarnal 



Swarming Prevented ! ! 



Some three years ago Mr. C. Monette (now 

 deceased), writing from Minnesota, under 

 the iiom dc plume of " C. Davenport," stated 

 in the American Bee Journal that he had 

 discovered a method of absolutely prevent- 

 ing swarming; that he had given the treat- 

 ment to hundreds of colonies, and not one 

 of them swarmed. Eventually, however, he 

 declined to give the process, saying it would 

 make bee-keeping too easy and honey too 

 cheap. From the hints dropped by Mr. 

 Monette, Dr. Henry Jones, of Minnesota, by 

 an ingenious process of reasoning worthy of 

 Sherlock Holmes, hit upon what he believes 

 (and I agree with him) was the exact plan 

 followed by Mr. Monette. The Doctor has 

 been experimenting with this plan since 

 1906, going in a little deeper each year, this 

 year using a little over .50 colonies, and 

 "swarming was absolutely prevented under 

 very exacting conditions. 



There is no clipping of the queens' 

 wings, no caging of queens (not even necessary to look for queens), no 

 pinching of queen-cells, no shook swarming, no dividing, no extra ex- 

 pense; plan simple and easy to carry out, and a good crop of honey easily 

 secured. 



The Doctor has described his plan in a little booklet that retails for Z-i 

 cts., but I have made arrangements whereby I can club it with the Bee- 

 Keepers' Review for only $1.20. That is, I will send the Review for llllo, 

 and the book, for onlv $1.20; and, so long as the supply of back numbers 

 holds out, I will send all the numbers of 1909, /;v,-, to the man who sends 

 me $1.20 for the book and the Review for 1910.
