Arc Queens Balled in the Fall 



When Feeding After Laying 



Has Slopped? 



Query 969.— I have seen it slated that 

 queens are likely to be balled and killed by 

 feeding In the fall after laying has stopped. 

 What has beeu your experience in that direc- 

 tion ?— Indiana. 



Chas. Dadant & Sod— We never saw 

 this. 



J. A. Green — I have never known it to 

 happen. 



Jas. A. Stone— I have never had it to 

 happen. 



W. G. Larrabee— I have had no ex- 

 perience. 



Mrs. L. Harrison— I never lost them 

 in that way. 



C. H. Dibbern— I know nothing about 

 it. No experience. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater— I have never had 

 any trouble in that way. 



H. D. Cutting — I don't remember los- 

 ing any queens in that -way. 



B. Taylor — I have never known any 

 facts to prove this idea to be true. 



Win. M. Barnum — Your informant was 

 evidently inclined to be facetious ! 



R. L. Taylor — I have fed a great deal 

 in the fall, and never saw anything of 

 that. 



P. H. Elwood — With a large experi- 

 ence, I have observed nothing of the 

 kind. 



G. M. Doolittle — I never had such a 

 case, and have often fed for -winter 

 stores. 



E. France — I have fed in the fall, but 

 don't know that I ever had queens lost 

 in that way. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — I do not think it is 

 so. I have fed many a time and never 

 had such results. 



Dr. 0. G. Miller — I have never observed 

 anything of the kind, and yet I couldn't 

 be sure there's nothing in it. 



Rev. Emerson T. Abbott — I never had 

 any experience in that line, and do not 

 think it has any foundation in fact. 



Eugene Secor — Haven't any. But if I 

 were to guess the cause of the balling, I 

 would say the feeding attracted robbers. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — I have had hun- 

 dreds of queens balled, but never recol- 

 lect having one balled under the circum- 

 stances you state. 



Rev. M. Mahin — I have never had a 

 case of the kind. I have had queens 

 balled by handling the combs in cool 

 weather in the spring. 



J. E. Pond — I have never known such 

 an instance, but have frequently found 

 them balled after opening and examin- 

 ing the condition of a colony. 



G. W. Demaree — I have never experi- 

 enced any trouble of that kind when 

 feeding in the fall. I only feed a few 

 colonies at a time, and avoid the danger 

 of steaWiy robbing. When a great many 

 colonies are fed at the same time, they 

 assume the same >icent or smell, if you 

 please, and sly robbing may be started. 



resulting in the " balling " of some of 

 the queens. I have had eases of this 

 kind in early spring.

 It will do all you aay itwill.
