Bec8 IltvccI on All Drone-Couibs 



Query 79.— 1. Suppose a prime swarm ia 

 hived on all fully-built frames of drone-comb, 

 what kind of bees will they re-.^r, drones or 

 workers? 



2. If worker-bees were the result, would 

 this not be a good plan to follow to secure 

 larger bees, and consequently longer tongues? 

 —Illinois. 



0. 0. Poppleton— I don't know. 



W. G. Larrabee — 1. I should say they 

 would rear drones. 



E. France — 1. I never tried It. 2. 

 You try it and report. 



K. L. Taylor— 1. Both. 2. No, you 

 can't fool Nature that way. 



P. H. Elwood — I haven't observed any 

 worker-bees reared in drone-comb. 



R. C. Alkln — 1. Drones, drones, 

 drones. 2. I don't think it will work 

 one bit. 



Dr. A. B. Ma?on — 1. Both drones and 

 workers, but more workers than drones. 

 2. I think not. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — 1. Workers. When 

 the levee broke in the South, and the 

 water drove the bees into the surplus
