Without considering that fighting is almost certain to cause 

 the death of thousands in the hands of many bee-keepers,' but 

 too frequently these bees only die out before winter is half 

 over, -leaving the stock worse off than before.

 bees must first be made to develop a fair-sized brood nest in 

 another hive on the spare combs of such lot ; when plenty of 

 young bees are hatching then unite to your weak lot, saving 

 the queen most to be desired. Feed and prepare for winter 

 as hitherto shewn.
