What About Spreading Brootll 



Query 964.— 1. Do you practice spreading 

 brood ? 

 2. If so. to what extent ?— Canada. 



E. France — No. 

 R. L. Taylor— No. 

 Jas. A. Stone — No. 



B. Taylor— I do not. 

 W. G. Larrabee — No. 

 H. D. Cutting— I do not. 

 J. A. Green — Very little. 

 Dr. C. C. Miller— Not lately. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — Very rarely. 



C. H. Dibbern — No; I think it too 

 much trouble. 



P. H. Elwood — 1. I used to e.'sten- 

 sively. 2. Not much now. 



Prof. A. J. Cook— No. The less the 

 manipulation, the more profit, I think. 



Eugene Secor — Not often. It requires 

 too constant attention for an otherwise 

 busy man. 



Rev. M. Mahin — No. There is no ad- 

 vantage to be gained by it, and it is 

 liable to do serious harm. 



G. M. Doolittle — 1. Yes, but not as 

 much as formerly. 2. About twice be- 

 tween May 25 and June 15. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater — Not of late years, 

 for even with an experienced person it is 

 attended with much danger. 



J. E. Pond — No I except that in win- 

 ter I use nine Langstroth frames in the 

 space that ten occupy during the honey 

 season. 



G. W. Demaree — 1. No, not by "a 

 half a mile." 2. If my bees have plenty 

 of stores they breed up as fast as the 

 size of the colony will admit of. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — 1. Not now ; that 

 is one of the things that I used to do. 2. 

 I practiced it until I was convinced that 

 I killed many colonies by so doing. 



Wm. M. Barnum — Not as a rule. Un- 

 der certain conditions it may be advis- 

 able. Won't Dr. Tinker or Mr. Demaree 

 give us an article upon this subject soon? 



Rev. Emerson T. Abbott — No, sir ; 

 the queen will see to spreading the 

 brood as fast as the bees can care for it, 

 if she is given plenty of room so she has 

 a fair chance to do her best. 



Chas. Dadant ,fe Son — Only to growing 

 colonies that need increase when warm 

 weather comes. It should be done very 

 carefully for fear of chilling the brood. 

 Let beginners go at it very sparingly. 



Mrs. Jennie Atchley — 1. Yes. 2. If 

 I have a two-frame nucleus in the spring, 

 and wish to build it up, I spread the 

 frames and slip in empty combs or foun- 

 dation, one at a time, until the hive is 

 full. Of course the proper time should 

 arrive before spreading. 



Biixlcrs for this size of the American 

 Bee Journal we can furnish for 7.5 cents 

 each, postpaid; or we will club it with the 

 Bee Journal for a year— both for .Jl.tJO. We 

 have a few of the old size (6x1)) Binders 

 left, that we will mail for only 40 cents 

 each, to close them out.
