Accustomed to fly about with window closed and opened
often. Nucleus may be set at first near window on shelf
and gradually removed and set on floor in one corner of
small room. This ensures flying of drone in room. When
all ready, put nucleus with Queen just right (say five
days old and confined with Queen includer till then) into the
opposite corner on a shelf halfway up to ceiling, take out
comb with Queen in it and lay against nucleus box,
the drones being in full flight. easy to make them fly at
say 2 PM, close window so that many will as usual
be flying in small room. May be well to have the drone
nucleus without a Queen. If found to answer, the frame with
Queen may be laid near drone nucleus and the nucleus
at once returned to place. Or box with part of nucleus
kept on old stand to prevent loss of bees. Plan may
be easily modified to suit circumstances, easy to [illegible]
the Queen if knotted on, after impregnation. Can the plan
be made to answer. Worth a trial so that we may [illegible]
from our [illegible] drones and keep down drone breeding. It
may be that four or five might thus be impregnated in a day
or say beginning at 12 noon even more. Would Queens feel to
[illegible]. Would they fly to window and persist only in trying to
get out. Would bees attempt to confine them on window. 
Would too many bees darken window. (18th) 44 to 64 degrees northwest. 
Most of the day cool and cloudy. Bees wonderfully active for the weather. 
Honey abounds some of the stocks much stronger than at this time
last year. The emptying stimulus of so much honey and
abundance of pollen last year pollen scarce, caused an immense
deposit of eggs, wet weather is delaying great harvest and
