Illinois,— The annual meetingof Northern 

 Illinois Bee-Keepers' Association, will be held 

 at the Court House. In Freeport, III., Tuesday 

 and Wednesday, August 16 and 17, 1898. All 

 Interested in bees are Invited to attend. 



B. Kennedy. Sec., New Mllford, 111. 



Instinct of nature prompts them to rear 

 some of the opposite sex, while others 

 are not so smitten. 2. I can't catch 

 on, but It seems to me they are a crowd 

 of organs, dependent upon one another. 

 3. Here I'm lost. Ask Dr. Miller. 4. 

 That is their trade. Nature provided 

 the instinct. 



Emerson T. Abbott— 1. What makes 

 one man use tobacco and another let it 

 alone ? 2. Perhaps. Are two mud- 

 turtles one? 8. I should like to have 

 the writer explain what he means. 4. 

 How does a plifeon kuow how to prepare 

 the food for her young, and when to 

 give it to them ? How do you know 

 anything ? 



S. T. Pettit— 1. Various causes. Old 

 or poor queens ; dissatisfaction with 

 their quarters ; the thought of swarm- 

 ing. The opposite conditions conduce 

 to the building of worker-comb. A 

 strong colony will build proportionately 

 more drone-comb than a weak one. 2. 

 Yes, one organism. 3. I don't under- 

 stand the question. 4. I don't know. 



Dr. A. B. Mason — 1. There are sev- 

 eral reasons. A colony with an old 

 queen Is more liable to build drone-comb 

 than is one with a youngqueen, and also 

 more liable to do it under a strong 

 honey-flow than when there Is a moder- 

 ate flow. 2. A crowd of organs. 3. I 

 think it shows the wisdom of the Being 

 who created it. 4. Perhaps Dr. Miller 

 will tell you. 



J. E. Pond— 1. Who can tell ? I can't. 

 2. A colony of bees consists of three 

 parts, queen, drones, workers, all form- 

 ing one distinct whole. 3. It would take 

 pages to state an Intelligent answer to 

 the question, and then we could only 

 theorize. Certain facts have been 

 proved, why they are so is a guess. 4. 

 Who can answer? I can't. We must 

 fall back upon the idea that Nature 

 governs well. 



G. W. Demaree — 1. "German" has 

 askt a whole book. All close observers 

 know that very old queens induce large 

 numbers of drones — it Is a matter of In- 

 stinct with the bees. A good season and 

 too much drone-comb will usually give a 

 big output of drones. 2. The honey-bee 

 lives in colonies, and that condition with 

 them Is essential to existence. Is this 

 true? 4. Don't have to make any 

 change ; Nature does that. 



R. L. Taylor — 1. Thebetterthe queen 

 the greater the inclination to build 

 worker-cooab ; the poorer or the older 

 the queen the greater the Inclination to 

 build drone-comb. When a colony re- 

 alizes that It may soon be necessary to 

 rear a new queen. It Is anxious flrst to 

 provide drones and so build drone-comb. 

 There Is a limit to this, when comb is 

 not needed for brood of any kind, but 

 for honey only they are apt to build 

 drone-comb because It Is more economi- 

 cal. 2. Both — E. pluribus unum. 3. 

 It's marvelous. 4. Instinct, I suppose.
