Experiment. Caged July 31st 2 3/4 PM, a just impregnated queen. 
August 4th, 11 AM, liberated queen, examined at intervals of an hour,
at 7 PM, no eggs. (5th) 5 AM, eggs. Shall cage again in a few days
and see how long before she lays when liberated. 6th. 10 AM, caged
queen. 10th, uncaged at 7 AM. 9 1/2 AM, not an egg. 10 1/2 none. 
1 1/2 PM, none. 5 2/3 PM, 20 eggs, queen about ten hours before she
began to lay, everything very favorable, had been laying freely before
caged. In a few days shall cage again. 11th. 9 AM, caged queen
again. 16th, 7 AM, uncaged queen. 9, 10, 11 AM, not an egg. 2 PM, none. 
5 PM, laying briskly. 17th, 12 AM, caged again. 23rd, 8 AM, uncaged
queen. 11 AM, not an egg. 3 1/2 PM, not an egg. 6 PM, one egg. 
This queen is now accustomed to being caged. About ten hours seems to be required
before she can resume laying after being caged. Shall try her in a much larger
and stronger stock. [crossed out: cage tomorrow night at 10 o'clock. uncage at next time uncage]
[crossed out: queen at 10 PM, having caged her only] Next time cage queen as soon as she lays freely
at 8 PM, uncage her at 6 AM, and see if her power to lay is exhausted in about
the same time, with her power to return to laying. Put her when caged some days
with hatching and just hatched bees and see whether results are different,
first with pollen, then without.
