comb under them, no difficulty at any time in removing them. 
Removed a Queen at 4 PM of the 5th, a sealed Queen cell at 4 PM
today. Let out in the AM. A fertile Queen caged on the 6th
after removing Queen cells, knotted on and found dead in PM. 
Where drone eggs are laid in worker cells, the drones find it often very
difficult to get out of the cells, often die in them. This especially the
case where they are close together like workers. 8th 56 to 74 degrees Bees [illegible]
very well. Important. although hive may be crowded with bees and
brood and [illegible] bees seem to me not inclined to swarm
so long as most of the newly gathered honey is unsealed, those left would
not be able to take care of it and brood too. Bees are in most
of the hives getting rich but have not yet sealed much honey. 
9th 58 to 70 degrees. Wind northeast. Very cool much of the day and yet bees
gathering honey well. Sun sometimes too much clouded and then not
much gathered. Notice several colonies killing drones. At 2 1/2 PM
drones in a glass hive lay closely huddled [illegible] together on the
alighting board, had been prevented before. At 3: 00 PM bees came
out on portico of hive as much as they often do just before swarming
drones were so densely packed under the entrance as almost to smother
bees. We have now stocks killing off drones and yet honey coming
in abundantly. Cool nights and days may cause it. 10th 50 to 74 degrees
wind still northeast almost Frost splendid day for honey when it
warmed up. Found near a quart of drones on the outside of glass
hive, chilled, others almost wadded under entrance. Removed
and killed them. After sundown saw bees driving off (glass hive) drones
from the comb. Does this early destruction of drones imply a poor
honey harvest. Think not. (11th) 51 to 76 degrees northwest. Went to [illegible]. Clear
very hot sun. (12th) 78 degrees northwest clear, hot. (13th) 52 to 80 degrees southwest clear. 
Sun very hot. Bees work well on Clover, but do not seem to fill
up below or make new comb as fast as I should like. Are killing drones
