new hive in its place, and shook oflE some of 

 the bees from No. 1 in front of it. Then the 

 fun commenced. A good many of them 

 went up my sleeves and entered vigorous 

 protests. Well, I closed up the hive and 

 carried it away about 50 feet, settled it 

 carefully, went to the house, drank a glass 

 of water with a spoonful of ammonia in it, 

 scraped out about 40 stings, and was prac- 

 tically paralyzed, at least helpless for more 

 than an hour. My wife had all the neigh- 

 bors around me when I "came to,'' and she 

 wanted to burn up hives and all, right 

 away. I learned that bees mniH mix and 

 ifiU sting " right smart." For two days 

 the bees fought and slew thousands, and 

 then I changed them, putting No. 1 on its 

 own stand, and No. B in another place. This 

 course hurt No. 1, and stunted No. 6. 



Well, on Aug. 14, No. 5 (the nucleus from 

 2 and 3) swarmed — a grand swarm. So I 

 have learned that in spite of division, bees 

 will swarm if the queen is not clipped. 



Now. as to results: No. 1. original Ital- 

 ian colony, 3S pounds of honey ; No. 4, 

 nucleus from No. 1, clipped queen, 00; No. 

 2, original black, Italianized, 19; No. 3, 

 blacks that swarmed. 3; No. 5, nucleus 

 from black, Italianized and swarmed. 3; 

 No. 6, no honey : blacks, first swarm; No. 

 7, swarm from No. .5. Aug. 14. 12; No. 8, 

 nucleus of Carniolans. Total, comb honey, 

 13.5 pounds. 



The Carniolan nucleus covers four 

 frames. I have fed them and given them a 

 full comb of honey, packed them in the cen- 

 ter of the hive with a dummy. Hill's de- 

 vice over the frames, super packed with 

 bran, and I hope to see them come through 

 all right. They are docile, industrious and 

 hardy, being on the wing when no other 

 bees show themselves.
