a delicate business, and by experts they are
sold by the swarm and sent to different parts of
the country. A swarm is composed OF one
Italian queen, around which large number of
drones and workers cluster. This mass of bees
are shipped in boxes, one end being covered
with wire gauze to give the bees air. They are
also shipped in hives. the top Of the hive being
removed from its place and attached TO the
bottom. For the top of the hive a wire gauze
is substituted and is always placed upward.
