Increase OF Bees.

Naturally, bees will increase to ex-
is "a good one. 1t is mistake TO thus
allow bees the privilege of swarming
as much as they will do at such
times, as the result Will be large

Der OF qucenless ones unless they are
well looked after in this particular.
In such instances bees do not Law up

wintering, and in all such cases it re-
quircs heavy feeding in the fall. The
limit to increase by swarming should
be confined 10 but one swarm from
each colony. This leaves the parent
stock in fair condition, and both it
and the first swarm will prove profit.
able colonies. 1t is but little trouble
to regulate swarming, and if we wish
to prevent it altogether we can do so
by removing the queen cells from the
combs. If we wish but one swarm
from each colony, we can tc,Ee away
all but one queen cell aftelit the first
swarm issues, and no swarming will
follow.
Dividing colonies for increase has
been practiced to quite an extent, but
this method is not near so popular as
formerly, and most beekeepers now
prefer swarming in the natural way.
Bees are readily divided and colonies
formed by simply separating colony
IN two or more parts as desired, and
furnishing queens 10 the parts that
have none. In dividing we should
initiate natural swarming as near as
possible, and take both old and young
bees, and also divide the brood combs
Of the hive. Dividing is not so sue
cessful as swarming, from the fact
that the old bees return to the old
location, leaving young bees in the
new colony exclusively. Colonies
thus made up do not do much work
for some time afterwards rs the old or
working force of bees do not remain
with them. The most successful
divisions are made by taking the
dividing parts away some distance,
perhaps n mile or two, and when thus
removed from the location entirely
they do not return, and hence retain
their working force. There is no
manner of dividing that will produce
so good results as that of natural
swarming, and for this reason it has
been abandoned to n great extent.
Natural swarming seems to give life
and vigor to the bees, and they work
with much more energy. Farm, Field
