FALL MANAGEMENT. 
circumstance, that all moth eggs and worms are frozen 
to death, and the bees are not troubled with a single 
worm before June. No young bees have to be re- 
moved to work them out. Nearly every young bee 
that is fed and sealed up, comes forth perfect, and of 
course makes a vast difference in the increase. 
SWARMS PARTI. T FILLED PAY BETTER THAN TO CUT OUT THE 
HONEY. 
Any person wishing to increase his stocks to the 
utmost, will find this plan of saving all part-filled 
hives, of much more advantage than to break it out 
for sale. Suppose you have an old stock that needs 
pruning, and have neglected it, or it has refused to 
swarm, and give you a chance without destroying too 
much brood. You can let it be, and put on the 
boxes ; perhaps get twenty-five pounds of cap honey ; 
and then winter the bees as described, and in the 
spring transfer them to the new combs. Again, if 
there is no stocks to be transferred in the spring, keep 
them till the swarming season. If a swarm put into 
an empty hive would just fill it, the same swarm put 
into one containing fifteen pounds of honey, it seems 
plain, would make that number of pounds in boxes. 
The advantage is, in the comparative value of box or 
cap honey over that stored in the hive ; the difference 
being from thirty to a hundred per cent. 
ADVANTAGES IN TRANSFERRING. 
I would now like to show the advantages I derived 
in transferring the twenty swarms before mentioned-
