Tlie Progress of a Colony. 



tliiery 74.— Suppose a colony has. on March 

 21, two frames of brood with bees enough to 

 cover them 



1. Given the best care as to protection, and 

 in every way, and setting them over a strong 

 colony so as to get the heat from that, how 

 many frames of brood will there be bees 

 enough to cover three weeks later ? 



2. How long after March 21 will it take to 

 reach the queen's capacity, supposing that is 

 10 frames?— Illinois. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — I don't know. 



Emerson T. Abbott — I do not know. 



J. A. Stone— 1 and 2. I don't know. 



J. M. Hambaugh— This is too knotty 

 for me. 



E. France — It would depend very 

 much upon the weather. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — Too much guess- 

 work about that to reply knowingly. 



Rev. M. Mahin — I could only guess, 

 and my guess might be wide of the 

 mark. 



Eugene Secor — 1. There ought to be 

 bees enough to cover five frames. 2. 

 Eight weeks. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— 1. I don't know. 

 Perhaps two and a half. 2. Maybe two 

 or three months. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — So much depends 

 upon queen, season, and other condi- 

 tions that a positive answer is not pos- 

 sible. 



R. C. Alkln — 1. Two combs (full) of 

 brood should hatch enough bees to cover 

 all of five. 2. Five weeks. These an- 

 swers approximate. 



C. H. DIbbern— 1. That depends upon 

 many things, and cannot be answered 

 with any certainty. 2. That would be 

 about as uncertain as the first question. 



S. T. Pettit — There are too many con- 

 ditions to be considered in this problem 

 to answer with anything more than a 

 guess. Not knowing the age of the 

 brood March 21 adds to the difficulty. 



R. L. Taylor — 1. On account of the 

 dying off of the bees no more brood can 

 be covered April 21 than March 21. 2. 

 If everything is favorable, and the queen 

 is excellent, three months and a half 

 might answer. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — 1. About four 

 frames. 2. "How long" will depend 

 altogether upon the conditions of the 

 weather. If these are favorable, I would 

 say the " capacity " would be about the 

 middle of May. 



Dr. A. B. Masou — 1. That will depend 

 upon the locality. In this locality (Lucas 

 Co., Ohio) a colony that hasn't bees 

 enough to cover more than two combs 

 of brood Is a poor colony, and would 

 breed very slowly. 



J. A. Green— 1. There could not be 

 more bees than would hatch from the 

 first two frames, added to the original 

 number. As a large proportion of the 

 latter would die, you could not count on
