AV INV w w
DUNG the bees, lift out the brood combs
with all adhering bees, until two-thirds
of all the brood IL removed, placing the
same in the new hive and being careful
not to remove the queen. Fill all an
occupied space in both hives with comb
frames. Locate the new hive some dis
lance from the old. All the old bees will
return to the parent hive, but enough
young bees viii remain to care for the
brood. A fertile queen may be given
the new colony after forty-eight hours,
or about sunset on the second day, by
quietly setting her on one of the brood
combs. The bees, being all young, will
accept her and the work is done. We
introduced many queenst to new colonies,
last season, as here given, without the
loss of a single queen. The new colony
will not work much for a time, but is
generally equal if not superior to the
parent stock, in a few Days. u. Nc
