march. Now look closely for the queen and capture her. 
Ifshe is not found befSre 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 ina few minutes, finding themselves des- 
titute of a queen, and not having the means of raising 
another to take her place, will rise on the wing, and 
return to the old stock from which they came, and will 
not come out again, but will work in the boxes through- 
out the season. I will treat of this subject of swarming 
no further in this chapter. The merits of the Controll- 
able Hive and New System of Bee Management will be 
fully shown further on in this work, and the most explicit 
instructions given for rearing bees with profit.
