seems to be the most important thing ia the cul-
Ure. In thc Spring, when the hives are taken

nearly full the bees build queen cells, four or five,
before the young swarm leaves. Swarmlug signs
are shown by the bees hanging outside the hives
aud loud hummiug, then the swarm soon leaves
and the old queen goes with them.
