Italian queen swarmed out - lit high - sawed and lowered down limb - bees jarred off some
queen was among last to fly down and go in - gave nucleus comb with eggs - think
the colonies and boxes too small - when put back and put in new place they
do not leave again - One of royal cells from Dayton [crossed out: stock] [inserted: comb] had a small dead larva
and very great amount of royal jelly - think all those queen cells had drones -
Having [inserted: a] drone laying worker they killed queen given to them - The College Beehive
not more than half a mile from me - My workers from Italians raised by me
are very handsome - Have little doubt that all are pure - but some of the queens
are not so well colored - A Linden in early place in full blossom - one in
less early spot half a blossom expanded - Bees are working splendidly -
 (30th) Had beautiful showers in the A. M. - July 1st - Some showers - cool -
bees working splendidly - Swarm at College on same tree and limb where
the one that went off Saturday - With great difficulty hived it - but it went off -
My No. 1 Italian - to which I gave extra large glass hive Italian Queen cell examined today -
could find no eggs - at last found very large queen - well colored, but had
shrivelled wings - and her tail appears [crossed out: illegible] [inserted: drone like] took away and gave them a Young Queen
not fertile - would have been safer to wait till tomorrow - July 2nd - Bees work
well on Linden - Large Queen with bad wings - confined by bees in a knot
colony had been strengthened by adding bees from a colony brought from a distance
A fine queen with colony helped some way also confined � her wing hurt
so that she cannot fly - A very fertile Young Italian Queen helped same way also
confined - will not do to add bees thus - (3) 46 degrees - Bees work well
Colony that had eloped - eloped again - queen had laid a very few eggs -
secured - another eloped lost - Sent off 3 queens - found queen whose wing
was injured on ground near her hive - a few bees with her - think she meent
to elope and is fertile - have made nuclei too small - (4th) 50 degrees - Saw the
Linden on road out of blossom - others in their prime - Gave Italian Queen from cage - bees
took her well - Opened another that had been in cage some hours - queen of the
hive removed about 12 hours - knotted around her - put her in cage again -
Honey has the Linden taste - Removed patterns from two hives - comb very
perfect - has not checked comb building or breeding - may be left in till
honey harvest over - Found a worm in brood comb - had injured brood in about one
inch of comb - (July 5th) Hot - This P. M. found hive to which Italian Queen was given
too soon - queenless - building drone comb and queen cells - Another with
queen in cage 24 hours refused her - put her back - On my own
opinion best way to give queen cells almost mature - Give the same
