SWARM CATCHING, HIVING, AND TRANSFERRING. 



99 



I have known bees, after they have been hived and built combs 

 as large as your hand, take a fad into their heads and clear out. 



Why, I cannot tell, and I do not think any one else can. Should 

 they do so, there is nothing for it but to go through the whole 

 work again.
