Lvey OK rnssr;as brood taken from strong ones, and
oueenesS colonies saved from certain ruin by giving
them the means OF obtaining another queen.
As ali the stocks in the Apiary, by the control OF
the Combs can be kept strong in numbers and in the
ossession of fertile queen, the raYages OF the bee
moth may be effectually prevented.
Ifthe bee keeper suspects that anything is the mat

nation of its combs, ascertain, in few minutes Its
true condition, and thus apply intelgently the rem
