Experiment to test the time required for development
of workers, queens and drones. 
August (4th) 1865. 9 1/2 AM. Gave a good comb to nucleus
with fertile young queen. 10 1/2 AM. 4 eggs. Examined at intervals
of an hour, no [inserted: more] at 4 1/2 PM, at 5 1/2 PM, queen on comb and nine
more eggs just laid. (5th) 9 1/2 AM. Found queen on comb laying,
about eggs had been laid, caged her at once, so
as to get the very minute when the last eggs were laid. (8th)
Gave this comb to a good nucleus well provided with honey, bee bread,
and bees of all ages. 12th. 6 PM, no cells capped. 13th. 5 AM,
two cells capped. 10 1/2 AM. 19 sealed over. 2 PM, over 60 capped. 
(14th) 6 AM, about 20 still unsealed. 10 AM, only two unsealed. 
2 PM, the last one almost finished. The first sealed in 5 1/2 hours less than
eight days, supposing the ones first sealed were the ones first laid. The
last nine days and 4 1/2 hours, supposing the ones laid last were last sealed,
this gives a variation of over a day. I have no doubt it is often greater.
