June is the month of the raspberry bloom, and 
of white and alsike clover blossoms, and from 
these come the most beautiful and delicious 
honey. The hives now should be strong to over¬ 
flowing, and tbe bees possessed of no other im¬ 
pulse than to collect and store honey. But many 
bee-keepers are annoyed and perplexed at just this 
time by the heps moving in these days of richest 
harvest. 
If extracted honey is desired, the free use of 
the extractor will greatly abate the swarming im- 
ulse, if in connection with the extractor we use 
| e perforated zinc entrance guards, and remove 
-' een cells in our weekly round of extracting. 
r ith the admirable machines of to-day, we have 
10 trouble in extracting from combs partly filled 
with brood, and not injure the larval bees. Honey 
may be extracted just before the bees cap it, and 
thus save much labor. If the honey is kept in 
open vessels, covered with factory cloth, and in a 
dry, warm room, it will thicken, and possess all the 
excellence of extracted capped honey. If comb 
honey is desired, the bees must be strong at the 
dawn of the harvest, and without the swarming 
impulse. Successful, practical bee-men aim to 
have their bees so strong that all swarming will be 
over before the white clover harvest commences. 
Some apiarists hive new colonies on a full set of 
wired “foundation” frames, and so soon as the 
harvest commences, the crates, with sections, are 
put on both hives. With skill, there is but little 
trouble with second swarms. If the harvest per¬ 
mits, a full yield of the finest comb honey is ob¬ 
tained. 
When one does not wish to increase the number 
of colonies, there are two good methods to follow. 
The first way is to unite a swarm with a weak 
colony, or place it in a new hive as a separate 
colony. The second swarm is put in the hive of 
the first, after all queen cells have been destroyed. 
This colony is now as strong as before, having the 
bees and queen of a prime swarm, and the full 
store of brood of a newly swarmed colony. The 
bees’ home is changed, both as to hive and lo¬ 
cality, and, being satisfied, will go to work in the 
sections, if sufficient room be given them. This 
letbod rarely fails. In the same way the third 
arm is hived in the old hive of the second 
J swarm, and so on. In the other method, the 
•- swarm is put back in the old hive, and the queen 
kept caged for ten days. The queen cells are re¬ 
moved as soon as capped, or certainly before any 
'if the queens come forth. The bees go to work 
i i the sections, and, with the brood destroyed, 
they Iqse the desire to go to a new home. In ten 
days , the queen is liberated, and brood rearing 
f.gain commences. 
An improvement to this plan is to make a nu¬ 
de is of a few bees and the old queen, which is 
put on top of the old hive. The other bees go 
back to the old home. The queen keeps laying, 
and the eggs or brood can be given to the bees of 
the old colony. The queen cells are removed as 
before, and in ten days the nucleus and old colony 
are united.
