but some hours after could not find her. Very important to
test this point fully to as to see if when one is caged it will
not be necessary to wait some time before liberating another. 
Some queens which have been caged for a few days when uncaged
are long in destroying queen cells. Does the disposition to destroy
queen cells prevail most strongly in quite young queens. 
Important experiments proposed to ascertain whether the
honey eat by the queen causes the development of the eggs in her ovaries,
or whether the bees feed her with jelly concocted from pollen, or whether
she concocts it from pollen. Take a very fertile queen with
a strong nucleus, give them combs with honey but no pollen, confine them
in a dark place, give them liberty at nights, see how long queen
will lay. If she stops laying, give a lot of bees actively brooding
eggs larvae etc. and see whether she will resume etc. 
Give to a just impregnated queen hatching and just hatched bees,
with no pollen, to see how soon she lays.
