 queen, and capture her. If she is not found before 

 the bees get into the box, shake them out again, 

 and go through the same process, till you find her. 

 As soon as you have secured the queen, the bees, in 

 a few minutes, finding themselves destitute of a 

 queen, and not having the means of raising another 

 to take her place, will rise on the wing, and return 

 to thfe old stotk from whicli they came, and Vvill 

 not come out again, but will wdrk in the boxes 

 throughout the season. I will treat of this subject 

 of swarming no further in this chapter. The merits 

 of the Controllable Hive and New System of Bea 

 Management, will be fully shown further on in this 

 work, and the most explicit instructions given for 

 rearing bees with profit.
