The Young Queens 
mentioned are first reared in nuclei, one is given to the 
united swarm soon after the operation, for two reasons, 
one being that no further swarming will occur, and another, 
that all worker combs are more likely to be built by the 
bees. In the case of the old combs doubled on a new site, 
the bees are not likely to swarm with so much comb space 
allowed, and the young queen with her nucleus is added to 
the stock in Autumn. 
Throughout all bee-operations the fact must never be 
lost sight of that every manipulation must tend towards 
developing that vast population at the right time, so 
absolutely necessary to a great success.
