onse till the bees from either of the drawers, min-

the drawer empty, then it may be removed, and, 
another small swarm added in the same manner. 
As separate swarins or bees became hostile towards 
each other as soon as they h ive emptied their sacks 
and formed a national character hy acquiring rights 
of property, it may become necessary to fumigate 
each swarm with a liltlo tobacco smoke in order to 
render a sameness in their scent which prevents 
them from distinguishing each other from their own 
companions : In this way old swarms may bo united 
at any proper season ol the year — young swarms uiay 
be united at any timo within 4 d«ys after swarming 
without smoke. Second swarms only, should be 
doubled, 3d and 4llt swarms should always have their 
queens lakon from them and the bees will return to 
the parent stock, as will bo treated of in its proper 
chapter.
