GETTING THE BEES.—Chapter V. 
from another colony can be had, it would also be an advantage to give 
them a little unsealed brood. These bees will probably raise themselves a 
queen from the brood given them, but it would be much better to introduce 
a laying queen. In the course of about six weeks most of the bees will be 
in the new hive. There will be some brood and the queen left in the tree. 
These may now be destroyed by use of sulphur fumes from the bee-smoker. 
Then the bee-eseape may be removed and the bees in the hive allowed to 
rob out the honey within the tree. After all the bees and honey are in the 
new hive, the hive can be removed to the desired location. The beginner 
must remember that it is necessary to supply the captured bees in the hive 
with either a comb of brood or with a queen. When a comb of brood is 
given it will be safest if the beginner select a comb containing eggs. 
Bees may be obtained in the same way from the walls of a building in 
which they have stolen their home.
