METHOD No. s.

The following is the way TO make natur-
al swarms, artificially: II the stock is in
in an American hive, blow = little smoke
into the hive through the entrance, aud
Immediately close il, take of the cap and
open several honey cells through the holes
in the top ofthe frame. and blow smoke
down upon the bees through the holes.
Rap few times on the hive to frighten
the bees. and wait five or ten minutes for
them 20 fill their honey s1cs. Replace the
cap and treat them TO another Whit Of
smoke through the entrance, and they are
ready to swarm. Now rap smartly on the
hive for ten minutes, nd you will have the
queen, together with \ good swarm Of
workers in the cap, which remove carefully
and sprinkle the bees with sugar sweeten-
ed water. put another cap over them TO
keep them in, and let them set ten minutes
while the old hive is being reAdjusted.-
Carry the bees TO a convenient place in the
shade. taking OF one cap and shake the
bees from IL into the other, which must be
leaned against something TO keep it partly
up on IFS edge-w here il shonld remain at
lest forty minutes, while hive is being
prepared for them. Take few frames OF
honey from other stocks, and put in the
new hive, for il is an uneenerous practice

proceed to hive as you would = natura
swarm. By spreading down sheet-set-
ting the hive upon il with entrance slide
out. shake the bees from the cap, on TO the
sheet in front Of the hive, and they will act
precisely like a natural swarm In every
respect.
While upon this subject, word Of eau
ton may be in order. When bee keepers
become well acquainted with the system Of
artificial swarming, and find themselves
possessed with the power TO increase their
stocks almost indefinitely, they often have
an overweening desire to be the owner OF
4 large number of colonies. This desire
should b. resisted. Let every bee keeper
take pride i'm the intrinsic excellence of his
stock. and not in the large number possess.
