Last Queen dark colored but very active bit me severely. Nuclei are up much honey. 
23rd 40 to 54 degrees Queen given yesterday accepted. Moved 5 old box hives to Mr peaks to be
[illegible] for forming nuclei. Clear early. Before noon sun clouded over raw. Bees worked
for a while Well. Took say 20 pounds of honey from the top of [illegible]. laid it on the side to
cut out the honey. noticed more of the treachery of Italian queens to square out their
brood. Took range of calm from glass hive. Gave to hive from Cleveland and to raise Queens
bees of glass hive Queen very beautiful. Saw a few sealed drones also drone
eggs. 24th 33 to 42 degrees wind last night East between two and three inches of snow on ground
in am Mostly melted during day very raw fed bees with honey Rye flour paste
very greedy for it. Found a Cleveland stock silent. [illegible] and by feeding most
of them revived eternal vigilance 25th 31 to 54 degrees Cleared off in night. Ground had a
crust frozen. Fruit blossoms do not appear hurt beautiful day for bees though
rather cool, cleared out remaining bees from Cleveland average some better but
few had good combs. One had a Queen cell with a worm in it. Found Queen alive
on bottom board with a circle of bees around her. She could walk. Took away
Queen cell gave them Queen again at sunset could not find her and found the
bees complaining. Changed positions of two stocks so as to get all the flying bees
in hive with a pure Italian drone Queen no [illegible]. The stock weakened
had Queen from my [illegible] impregnated by common drone. Her colony looks very well. 
Had sealed drones which I removed. Stock with Kirtland Queen has sealed
drones gave them a comb not completed [illegible] to get eggs and to prevent
them from filling up too much with honey. Cherries in full bloom. 26th 34 to 64 degrees
heavy white Frost. No apparent damage to fruit blossoms. Wind again East perfectly
clear. Bees work very well. Sick Queen found in comb, removed. Pear plum etc. 
in blossom Peach cherry plum and pear are blossoming very full. Made
two more very powerful nuclei from [illegible] stocks. Will not have any
small nuclei this season. Buckeye much more doubtful in the bottoms
than on high land. Sugar maples have blossomed very abundantly, bees [illegible]
upon them today. 27th 40 to 74 degrees beautiful day bees [illegible] busy on Flowers
[illegible] noticed much [illegible] early on bottom board one comb illegible. 
One nucleus had Queen was laying freely gave her to the other calmed them. They
worked well when they had her clustered for comb building. When taken
away [illegible] 28th 51 to 64 degrees nucleus with glass hive rejected queen
has a hatched queen, light yet but I think that she will be very beautiful. 
I have got a reliable queen to breed from. Shall try one more lot
from the Rose Queen but shall prefer to rely on the Parsons Queen.
