The whole tier should now be shifted to a new’ location, 
one story at a time, and then give the queenless swarm 
(made on the old stand) the eggs for queen-raising ; this 
time an upper story of combs is to be added, besides filling 
up below, as the much larger number of bees will probably 
store heavily. The removed portion of the stock will still 
have sufficient bees to care for the brood, the extent of 
which will now be immensely increased, as there are not 
enough gatherers left to crowd the queen out, though 
before shifting the hive the apiarist should have been able 
to give the queen plenty of room by alternating brood 
combs with foundation as the upper stories were added, 
and extracting if necessary. 
On the ninth day after setting the eggs, make up a 
nucleus with the queen (of the moved lot), this time 
standing the same by the queen-rearing swarm, to be 
united after forming the nuclei from the stock combs in 
a manner similar to that before mentioned, standing a 
nucleus by each of the full hives working for honey, to 
be united to them in the Autumn. 
By waiting till the date named more than sufficient 
nuclei can be made up, while the original queen will have 
a full hive of bees to build up with again, and thus provide 
against loss, also having combs of eggs to spare for the 
nuclei. 
Feeding Nuclei. . 
The most satisfactory way of feeding nuclei is by using 
candy in frames hanging by the combs as a dummy. 
Permanent syrup feeders, being part of the side walls, are 
not satisfactory, often leak, and syrup induces robbing 
where small lots are so fed. (See also “ Dry Feeding.”)
