 all beekeepers can be demonstrated.

Finding a Queen 



I see in the April number a ques- 

 tion asked from Oklahoma, "How to 

 Find a Queen," on which I would like 

 to give my experience. I had 6 queens 

 arrive in one lot, thinking it would 

 be easy to find the old queens after 

 reading how to do the trick; but alas, 

 I had about as good luck as Okla- 

 homa did. So, after trying in vain to 

 hire a beekeeper to help me find the 

 queens, I was told to put an empty 

 hive on the old stand, set the old hive 

 beside it, place an entrance guard in 

 front of empty hive, then shake the 

 bees off from the combs in front of 



new hive, placing combs in empty 

 hive after shaking all bees off. The 

 workers will go in the new hive, as 

 their combs are there, but the queen 

 will be found trying to go through 

 the guard. J. ALLEN BELL.
