a little on side. Could find no Queen and no cell from which
one hatched. Few hours later the bees had closed it up just as when I
opened for examination. In the PM found a beautiful Queen hatched from this cell. 
Opened from impatience. Bees do not ordinarily meddle with Queen cells. (3rd) 68 to 86 degrees
Bees working admirably (4th) 70 to 94 degrees hottest day for a long time. Bees [illegible] decline
from full work, too hot. Garden, etc. just beginning to show suffering for want of rain. 
After sunset showers. Heavy Thunder and wind most of the night. At 4 PM began
to rain freely. (5th) 70 to 83 degrees Northwest. Began to rain freely at 4 AM a slight
shower after sunset. 6/10 inches in all fell. Splendid PM for bees. All nature
gladdened by the showers. (6th) 68 to 86 degrees southeast not much work in AM. PM bees active
upon Clover. White Clover in pastures severely declined. In road sides in its prime. 
The heavy rains here developed a large yield on road sides and places where it is
usually, scanty coming so late as to be dried out. How much longer will it last. 
Am entirely satisfied that bees work up better in my new arrangement of hives than in
any previously devised (7th) 70 to 88 degrees southeast heavy showers with Thunder all around. 
Very light shower here after sunset. Fair for honey. Find no difficulty in injecting
water with rubber and syringe [illegible] into a worker can [illegible] her [illegible]. If Queens
will not be hurt by [illegible] necessary to open for injection may succeed. Can squeeze
Queen between fingers so as to inject, did so today. Used much violence to see
how they will stand it, how much [illegible] can safely be used. (8th) 70 to 82 degrees. 
A sprinkle after sunrise. Sun [illegible] AM PM excellent for honey, white
Clover still good. (9th) 68 to 82 degrees Observed in am as yesterday. Not so much honey. 
Thunder heard. few drops. In four instances just hatched young Queens (given to stocks
from which swarms were forced and which were moved to new place) gone and queen
cells in place of them. One hatched after cell queen also gone. These [illegible] 
have not as a general rule received just hatched Queens near as well as stocks
from which Queens taken and nothing else. Do they become [illegible] have
leisure to examine more closely into the trick played upon them. (10th) 68 to 82 degrees
 (Note thermometer feels house air, would in heat of day if more [illegible]
sun observed in AM not much done PM bees worked well on Clover, are
very busy on [illegible] a few [illegible] of this would give me a
