The Queen and Her Mating. 



Query 75.— Under favorable conditions- 



1 . How many days ^111 elapse after the queen 

 hatches from the cell before she takes her 

 flight ? 



2. How many days after batching before she 

 commences laying ? 



3. Is it true that the mating of the queen and 

 drone always causes the death of the latter ? 

 —Utah, 



Emerson T. Abbott — I do not know. 



J. A. Stone — 1. Prom 1 to 5. 2. From 

 8 fol5. 3. Yes. 



J. A. Green— 1. 6 or 7 days. 2. 10 

 days. 3. I do not know. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— 1. 5 days or more. 



2. Something like 10. 3. Probably. 

 Chas. Dadant & Son — 1. About 6 



days, never short of 5 days. 2. 2 to 4. 



3. Yes. 



Mrs. J. M. Null— 1. 5 to 11 days. 2. 

 10 to 16 days. 3. Death is a physical 



necessity. 



R. L. Taylor— 1. Prom 4 to 8 days. 

 2. From Q to 15. 3. I think so, of 



necessity. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown —1. Usually in 4 or 

 5 days. 2. On an average, In 10 days. 3. 

 'Tis true, I believe. 



Prof. A. J. Cook— 1. 3 to 6— usi.ally 

 5, with suitable weather. 2. 3 ; occa- 

 sionally 2. 3. Yes. 



J. M. Hambaugh — 1. From 3 to 7 

 days. 2. 6 to 10. 3. Yes, according 

 to our best authority. 



E. France — 1. I don't know. 2. A 

 week to 10 days. 3. I don't know, and 

 don't think auy one knows. 



0. 0. Poppleton— 1. Prom 6 to 9 days 

 usually ; but there are many exceptions. 



2. Add a couple of days to above figures. 



3. I don't know, but think yes. 



D. W. Heise— 1 and 2. That will vary 

 greatly, depending much upon the 

 weather, and other conditions. 3. I 

 give it up ; ask them that know. 



W. G. Larrabee — 1 and 2. I never saw 

 a queen take her flight, but she will 

 commence laying from 3 days to a week 

 after hatching. 3. I don't know. 



J. E. Pond— 1. Usually 2 or 3 days. 

 2. 5 or 6 days. 3. Yes, the drone loses 

 the male organ at the time of mating, 

 and death, as a rule, immediately results. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — 1 and 2. It will de- 

 pend upon the weather as to the time of 

 flights and the laying of the queen. 3. 

 I don't know. What is the difference, 

 anyhow, whether he lives or dies ? 



C. H. Dibbern — 1. Prom 12 to 16 

 days. 2. I am not sure about this, but 

 I think the time varies somewhat. 3. 

 That is the common understanding, but 

 there may be exceptions. 



E. S. Lovesy — 1. About 5 days. 2. S 

 to 9 days. 3. I would very much like 

 to know. 1 have many times seen a 

 young queen come out of the hive with 

 the bees, circle in the air, and usually 

 return and enter the hive in about 10
