swarmed - had monster queen - eggs of fertile worker in drone come some sealed over - they
accepted queen cell given and had beautiful [inserted: Glass hive] queen that looked as though she was fertile -
still very full of drones - Took off the two upper [illegible] of hives from Italian No. 3
u J
middle one full - sealed - upper not quite full - lower very full of brood - as
full as hives very strong usually are early in June! If no later supplies then these bees
could not spare all in upper boxes - have returned middle one to be filled - If these bees do
as they did last August they will fill their main hive abundantly - Did not smoke
and rap long enough and the bees became exceedingly cross - A large colony (swarm)
with black queen examined - could not get queen - very much brood - do not
think have made as much honey in proportion as Italians � some taken some time
ago not all replaced - Found three other Young Queens (Italian) fertile (Glass hive) had
laid eggs - saw none in two colonies that had queens impregnated over 48 hours -
Two of these queens 8 days old - one 9 - One queen deserted - bees clustered
on cherry tree - Hive from which black queen taken on Friday and Italian queen cell
given - raising queen - cell opened - may have been heat - (30th) Colony that
deserted yesterday - left again today three times - gave them eggs etc. 
Hive from which black queen taken had discontinued all queen cells - saw an
opened Italian Queen cell - could find no queen - gave another Glass hive queen cell -
 (31st) Colony that swarmed yesterday swarmed again today - gave their queen
 (unfertile) to another nucleus - to see if she or bees are the cause of this -
gave colony at once a sealed Glass hive cell - Examined nucleus to which
Glass hive queen (lost) had been given at 11 A. M. - took any queen cells except
those on one comb - at 2 P. M. - found two queens had hatched - three cells were
opened - two queens still alive - very beautiful - one very large - found one small
handsome queen [crossed out: hatched] in comb - not quite 11 days since queen was lost - and
though I gave this nucleus 3 queen cells - they started 10 and later six more -
16 in all! One (removed) not sealed over this A. M. - two sealed last night - 3 P. M. 
One of the queen cells opened at 2 P. M. and which had a white larva - has been covered
over again with a heavy protecting coat of wax - since all the other queen cells were
taken from the bees! Took all of her cell a queen whose mother gives no well colored
bees (she ought to have hatched) was alive - perfect - her color as much darker than
the best Italians in their just hatched state - as she would be than they when a
day or more old - (6 P. M. ) Queen that has left 5 times has remained quiet
since given to the other nucleus - Her nucleus swarmed! Cannot tell whether
before or after swarming of two very fertile nuclei - both of whose queens
I found - It is the bees then and not the queen that gives the impulse -
Gave a Young Queen to a [crossed out: stock] [inserted: nucleus] from which 5 hours before had taken a fertile Queen
Found her slightly confined - she came out in an hour on the outside - [illegible]
with her - put her back - in an hour found her closely hemmed in
