Circle her but not near so much as the [illegible] 
both [illegible] to the [illegible] at David's four saw both circled 
[illegible] at 12 noon to each of the nuclei with fertile workers a frame of 
 empty comb with part drone and part worker cells. Killed a 
[illegible] which seemed to be intent on killing Coleraine fertile worker 
the Coleraine fertile worker seems to look much older and slimmer than the Italian fertile worker
The black on both quite black [illegible] black and the orange on colrain fertile worker 
very bright. Number two had no drone cells and could see no eggs. Hope 
to time drone hatching, also to see weather drones of fertile worker can fertilize 
a Queen, and to [illegible] in other particulars with fertile worker 
[illegible] put good empty drone and worker comb in a few hours found only two eggs. 
Fed at 9 PM and removed more comb. Could see Jelly in one cell where was a drone egg. 5th 
gave back removed, at 5 AM, so several drone cells with Jelly, most of the cells no Jelly and 
eggs have not yet hatched. [illegible] new drone comb 1 PM has one egg 
well the Italian fertile worker in this nucleus most circled this is the first egg seen in it, the 
one caught laying in [illegible] did not seem circled, so yesterday the fertile worker caught 
laying, her wings were both clipped, she seemed very wild running fast almost [illegible]
time, but little egg laying seems to have been done since the first day I noticed 
so many eggs laid. [illegible] has hatched worms plain to be seen 2 PM a small
Italian Queen hatched. 4 PM another Italian Queen hatched but both gone. Saw fertile worker whose
wings I clipped laying, did not tear round as yesterday. 7 PM 
[illegible] 5 eggs in new drone comb, quite a number of drone 
eggs hatched and have Jelly, one egg just laid in a [illegible] 
Royal cell. Fertile worker I saw laying not much noticed by bees. 
7 1/2 pm. Gave 2 each [illegible] a good supply of young bees from the two [illegible] 
nuclei, as they were getting reduced in numbers. 6th fertile worker number one had a 
hatched Italian Queen at 5 AM. Fertile worker no 2 has no more eggs. Gave Queen from 1 to 3 
[illegible] nucleus 7th [illegible] that much circles fertile worker has only laid one egg. Shall remove 
caged Queen number one drone larvae [illegible] good progress. Fertile worker lay in drone cells because 
it is so much easier wings not so much in the way. Saw one [illegible]
