arrangement, bees reared workers in 

 drone-comb. 2. The workers would not 

 be any larger. 



G. M. Doolittle— 1. Both. 2. Worker- 

 bees from drone-comb are no larger than 

 other workers, according to my observa- 

 tion. 



J. M. Hambaugh — 1. Oh, goodness; 

 try and see. I don't know. 2. This 

 would be a broad stride. Let us hear 

 the result. 



Emerson T. Abbott — 1. Workers, if 

 they wish ; if not, drones. 2. It is not 

 always the largest egg that produces 

 the biggest chicken. 



C. H. Dibbern— 1. I think they would 

 be mostly drones. 2. Yes, but would 

 the workers produced in drone-cells, if 

 any, be really larger ? 



Dr. C. C. Miller— 1. The only time I 

 ever tried it they didn't do either. They 

 left. 2. Perhaps, but if I wanted to try 

 anything of the kind I'd go at It grad- 

 ually. 



D. W. Heise — 1. If the swarm will re- 

 main I would expect them to rear drones 

 until they had time to reconstruct the 

 cells Into worker, which I think they 

 would do. 



Jas. A. Stone — 1 and 2. I think they 

 would change the cells to worker-cells 

 as far as necessary, so the result would 

 be a loss of that much time in making 

 the change. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — Both these ques- 

 tions are preniist upon a violation of the 

 bee-" constitution." Before they could 

 be carried out the constitution would 

 have to be "amended." 



J. E. Pond — 1. Drones and workers 

 both, In my opinion. 2. No; for many 

 tests have been made In this direction, 

 without making any perceptible Increase 

 In the size of the workers. 



E. S. Lovesy — 1. Both. With us as a 

 rule the majority will be workers. 2. I 

 doubt it. I have never perceived any 

 difference. But I have never made any 

 experiments along this line. 



Prof. A. J. Conk— 1. I don't know. 

 Who would hive them thus except for 

 experiment? Try it, and you will know. 

 2. I doubt If it would work that way. 

 May be they would leave in disgust. 



Mrs. J. M. Null— 1 and 2. I don't 

 know. Personally speaking the boun- 

 dary lines of practical, everyday bee- 

 keeping are sufficiently extensive. 

 " Might-be's " soar to inaccessible hights. 



S. T. Pettit— 1. Usually they will rear 

 a fair proportiim of both. 2. I could 

 never see any difference in bees so reared 

 from those bred in worker-combs. It 

 might possibly add a little to the length 

 of their tongues, but I doubt it. 



Eugene Secor — 1. They might try to 

 rc.onstruct the cells so that workers 

 could be reared, but I would not be sur- 

 prised if they desprted the hive in dis- 

 gust. 2. Do you think that the size of 

 the cradle detprmines the size of the 

 grown-up baby ? 



Chas. Dadant it Son — They will rear 

 diones till they tiiive managed to narrow 

 down some of the cells. This experi- 

 ment was tried by Drory, of Bordeaux, 

 France, some 15 years ago, and tbe re- 

 sult was only a few eggs were laid that 

 hatcht as v.orkprs. 



Rev. M. Mahiu— 1. I have never seen 

 it tried, and do not know. It has been 

 said that under some conditions qJeens 

 will lay worker-eggs In drone-cells, but
