swarming all done by the middle Of
April. I prefer the natural swarms,
II they come early. and when artificial
swarms arc made, | give the division q
natural and nearly mature queen cell.
II ! want any increase ! allow all col
onIos that swarm early to swarm two
or three times, because every young
queen that | can get breeding carly in
Mlrch can be brought up to the STAN
dard in time for honcy-gathering.
II ! do not want increase, ! get as
many young queens in the place OF old
ones ~ ! possibly can. In q poor
season every colony can not be built
up in time for surplus. because | take
brood from some colonies to build up
others for surplus. Those which | take
brood from | only calculate to make
into profitable colonies for wintering.
Now understand that If honey is
wanted we must have bees, and any
colony that Is strong in bees will store
honey, even II there are not over n five
days honey How in the season.

bees are in condition to occupy them.
Now, providing the weather is fayora-
bic, we can put In one OF two frames Of
foundation at u time in each hive and
have the Quecns ill them with eggs. A
frame Of foundation filled with eggs by
y good Italian queen Is n sight worth
looking Mt; and have always had the
best satisfaction in having them filled
in the breeding season early before the
honey-low commences.
You will probably say that the above
plan makes work; but for what are We
