queen reared from brood sent me by Rose. They are not near so good as the Kirtland Queens
or the glass hive's, shall not use them. Removed Queen from glass hive and put her in a nucleus
of her bees to be able to get brood for [illegible] Queens, put on Queen includer. The colony
has a large amount of drone brood which will be given to other colonies. Gave them a Parmley
Coleraine Queen. When grown com removed this colony [illegible] hive. Find that it is
not always safe to give sealed Queen as soon as old queen removed, shall wait till
they begin Queen cells. American Italian Queen that had been in cage 24 hours, bees did not
take her well, confined her, used compound but they confined her still, put her again
in cage. Formed two more strong nuclei. (24th) 52 to 68 degrees cool wind from East, bees get
very little honey. Found Queens in double unit cages not noticed by bees. see
Huber When put in single cages bees mounted eagerly upon them
made two more strong nuclei A third left though Queen cell given
ought to have been shut in. Find my glass hive Italian workers can with
very great difficulty squeeze through a Queen includer that assumed well for
common bees, they are larger. In opening a hive with young Italian Queen that was seen
with drone organ two days ago, she took wing saw her enter her hive. 
shall not open nuclei about the time drones fly and bees fly and
[illegible] the Queen more agitated at that time. A nucleus out of
honey was not rearing Queens. I miss two most beautiful glass Queens after
they were fertile. Have Queen cells rearing from one. I want at least
50 nuclei and shall try to get them all so strong that they will
gather honey and the best do to winter. (25th) 40 to 58 degrees wind still East,
cool by PM Locust began to smell and one bees get honey (26th) 43 to 70 degrees bees
active on Locust but rough wind South not abundant yet in honey. Removed
Queen bred by me in flushing, from first original Queen. put her in nucleus here
never liked her drones. Her color has seemed to grow darker and her wings
were ragged. She had bred well however, saw how the cool non honey
weather has caused cells to be filled with eggs as bees here hatched. Saw
very good drones from a very dark Italian queen reared last season from pure
mother, her workers very handsome, saw the same squaring out of brood peculiar
to The Italians. Removed a Queen reared by me from eggs of original rose
Queen. Her drones the finest I have yet seen. last season, the drones from
my 3 Queens very unequal. But a very few equal to the finest. 
have this season from the ones I rely on a fertile Queen in a large hive
with very few bees directed, found them clustered and after hiving them they
came out again, bees for a nucleus and give Queen to a strong stock. 
Opened glass hive young fertile Queens was given to them yesterday. She had been in cage where
bees could not communicate with her ([illegible] wire) and bees had started Queen cells.
