by injection - Put a rubber bag on the glass tube to get sufficient power. 
Pull drone to pieces - get his seminal receptacle into fine mouth of tube
open vulva of queen - inject it! Apprehend no trouble except in opening vulva. 
Will impregnate some eggs of my drone laying Egyptian queen (just dropped - she
is now very fertile) with Egyptian sperm - have pane of glass over warm or
rather hot water to keep the diluted semen warm - put eggs in cells and
give them to colony eager exceedingly to raise queens - impregnate some with
semen of Italian - some of black drones! This also if successful - Maximus
felicitas experiendi (14th) 50 degrees 56 degrees - Yesterday wind N. W. - Sour day - drizzle
at intervals - fed bees - Today at P. M. - sun almost shone - some blue sky
bees get bee-bread and some honey - Stocks getting very light in honey - (15th)
53 degrees - 16th - 53 degrees 66 degrees - Slight shower in P. M. - bees get honey - stocks
almost out of honey - fed - Heard of black bees killing their drones. 
17th - 50 degrees Pleasant - bees get some honey - 18th 46 degrees 64 degrees - Pleasant bees get but
little honey - wind N. E. - Buckeye main supply - Many colonies must be
fed - old honey nearly all used up in the stocks - From fruit blossoms they have
got so little as to seal over none! Prospects of honey harvest very favorable - Locusts
will blossom late - stocks stronger and less likely to have blossoms injured by unfavorable
weather - Wet and cold have caused an unusual development of the white clover - If bees
not fed they must nearly stop breeding many of them - and some would die - Shall
now feed twice a day - unless honey comes in more freely. (19th) 40 degrees 62 degrees Frost in
low places - Wind still N. E. - but little honey got - A number of young queens were
impregnated today - saw a number confined by their own bees - James queries whether
they are not confined when bees have not the care of unsealed brood? Shall test this. 
Have known a strong swarm with young queen to confine her day after day till the hive
was nearly filled with worker combs! Found a [illegible] knotted on young queen in nucleus with
my Egyptian queen (drone layer now) Fear Egyptian queen gone - but have many drones - they hatched
in six or more hours less than 24 days - (20th) 43 degrees 62 degrees N. E. - Pleasant - some queens
impregnated - Queen has laid in less than 36 hours after impregnation - Impregnated 2 P. M. - laying
freely 5 A. M. - next A. M. but one! (21st) 46 degrees 69 degrees Beautiful day - drones in full
flight - Drones very handsome from queen whose drones last year were very beautiful. 
Wet and cold have prevented bees from getting much from fruit blossoms - most of old
stocks almost out of honey - many have none sealed - Am feeding to carry
them in good heart to Locust blossoms - Buckeye yields much pollen
