and its Economic Management. 309 
is opened, and is left open all the season, no matter 
how many times the bees may be turned over or turned 
back. 
The denuded side is not left with its doorway (entrance- 
slides) quite closed ; but three days after the “turnover” 
the same entrance may be opened half-an-inch. Otherwise 
instead of this opening on the other side, the back way 
may be opened slightly the same day that the turnover 
is made. 
-A Single Stock 
may be worked in a similar manner, first making an early 
nucleus from the stock and placing it in the other side; 
using the young queen when in full work for producing the 
surplus population for its parent hive; or the process may 
be reversed, using the nucleus when ready as the supering 
hive. In this case the brood combs may be first made up 
from the stock. 
Stock and Swarm. 
A swarm may also be hived in one side for carrying out 
the same process of helping a stock in the other; or the 
stock itself may be swarmed early and presently worked 
in combination. Lastly two swarms may be used for 
stocking the Double Conqueror, and presently helping 
each other upon the same plan. 
The lot that is “turned over” must never be quite shut 
in. Of course it always has a way out through the 
excluder partition and the other stock ; but where the back 
entrance is not slightly opened on the day of the “turn- 
over,” they may have their former entrance opened half-an- 
inch only on the third day thereafter, as then the recently 
united forces will be using, and will continue to use, the 
full width entrance of the supered lot, until they may 
again be “turned over.”
