moth enters and the bees of a queenless hive offer no opposition she will lay eggs [inserted: enough] to cause the ruin of
the strongest colony in a very short time. My movable frames allowing each comb to be
easily taken out and examined so they may be cleaned from the web and larvae of the
bee moth, will enable the apiarian to save hives badly attacked and which would
otherwise perish. 
Rapid increase of colonies. A system of management which will enable us to increase
our colonies with great rapidity, will be one of the best methods
of contending successfully against the moth. While the taste for their cultivation
has rapidly increased the difficulties of multiplying colonies have also increased
a good swarm of bees, when it leaves the hive is [illegible] valued at about five dollars. 
however the great anxiety to preserve over winter all colonies. Natural swarming being so uncertain,
and no system of artificial swarming as yet introduced into this country being of any
practical use, and the [crossed out: just] [inserted: unreasonable] feeling of [illegible] to destroy any colonies, on the ground of humanity
being so strong how much humanity in leaving them to starve, or to perish from the moth and cause the
ruin of other colonies. All these things aid favor the increase of the moth, until in the
warmer parts of our country where the seasons are longest and most favorable to insect
development as are in danger of having the bee exterminated. Let my system of management
be introduced, and the price of swarms will speedily fall, persons will enter
upon the raising of swarms on a large scale for sale, and the temptation to waste time, 
patience and money, or its equivalent honey, upon feeble swarms, or moth breeders, will be
taken away. But if bees are kept on my plan, such colonies may be strengthened at the
right time by brood and honey, and all queenless colonies being supplied with
Queens, or if the absence of drones will not permit this, being taken up, we may
bid defiance to the moth. 
White. I find many practical writer object to this color as attracting the moth, a pan
of milk will catch them, white dishes with honey and vinegar good. There can be no
doubt that white attracts the moth. Hive cleaning. Every spring the frames of each
hive may be put into another hive, the old ones most thoroughly cleaned, and all eggs of
moth eradicated, and any little repairs made. Then the bees may be returned. This may
be done at any time. If the moth has got in, this one crowning excellence of movable frames.
