By having two large holes in the top of the boxes put 
under, corresponding with holes in the bottom of the 
first set of boxes, you will give the bees a chance to pass 
from one box to the other, and they will continue to fill 
up and seal over that in the first boxes, and immediately 
commence in the lower boxes and fill them in the same 
way. In this way they will store a much larger quan- 
tity than they will to remove the boxes, until the second 
set is filled. They will not miss the filled ones on the 
top, if removed, when they are at work in the under set 
of boxes. There will be but few bees in the upper 
boxes, and on removing them the holes in the top of the 
under boxes must be closed up, and when these are 
nearly filled, raise them up and put empty ones under 
as before. They will fill them much quicker if put on 
in this way than to take each set entirely from the hive. 
Where this course is pursued, a box just the size of the 
rim of the cap must be put over the lower set of boxes 
and the cap placed on top of that. This will cover both 
sets of boxes and will answer a good purpose during 
summer. Bough boards will answer for this as well 
as any.

The above Cuts illustrate the three classes of Bees that constitute 
a swarm — Queen , Worker, ami Drone. For a particular description 
of these Bees, see pages 74, 76, and 78.
