Nucleus came this evening too late to examine from honest faithful [illegible] William W Carey. 
2nd 37 to 57 degrees heavy white Frost fruit not hurt very windy with raw clouds. 
Bees got out a little 50 degrees at dusk. Found Mr. Cary's nucleus al
right. Had eggs from his Queen producing best drones from doctor Parmley's best
Queen from one reared from Parmley's producing the best colored workers
of any that he has. Gave the brood to five nuclei and Part 2 the
one sent. Shall not after this make give nuclei eggs but young worms
shall cut out a square from large comb of size of small ones and
then cut it into two triangles. Bees will soon replace the square
and fill with eggs. All the eggs of the large nucleus have hatched and
the worms about the best [illegible] but the combs are too old to be used
as near as I could wish. Gave young unfertile Queen from glass hive Queen in a cage
to a colony. she had six or more bees in cage. When honey given they fed
her. 3rd 41 to 65 degrees beautiful day bees exceedingly busy cut out cells of glass
hive Queen 7 and gave two small shut up nuclei left one only in the present hive. 
Found young glass hive queen chilled with her bees in cage warmed her and gave her to the colony
appeared to be pleased. Three of the nuclei with Cary brood have Queen cells
started on one has five. Bees undoubtedly prefer to rear Queens from young worms. 
shall As soon as the Queens are sealed I shall condense them and give more brood
to the deprived ones to set them to work on more. Shall give from the condensed
before hatching to the hives with black Queens to Italianize my apiary as soon
as possible. Want to do it before I have any trouble from black drones. Bees that have
been rearing Queens are much more eager to start others. 4th 40 to 68 degrees beautiful

inclined to Rob had two Italian Queen cells close together. Examined it [illegible]
half an hour few bees in nucleus. Found a young queen hatched and very busy
gnawing at cell of sister. Took her off. She was not so pale as they often
are. Found sister nearly open. When bees are taken off and brought
into house she would put her head and shoulders out and then draw
back afraid. Very different from a determined worker when she came out all
perfect larger than the others and much [illegible] took from glass hive queen and
beautiful last one seems most so but must wait till her colors are more clear
Glass hive Queens very good to breed from. Condensed nuclei and got more brood from
glass hive Queens. Cut out one square and put in to be filled by bees shall then
cut it [illegible]. 6th 40 to 64 degrees wind north West slight Frost beautiful day bees got much honey.
