Cage For 4 Queen Bee.

When queen bee becomes unpro-
ductive through old age. 1t is necessary
for the bee keeper to supply the colony
OF bees with a new queen This he
does In the following manner: The old
queen is removed from the hive and
the bees are left alone for about twelve
hours or longer, during which time
they find out that they are queenless.
The new queen is then put into cage
made of wood and wire cloth, with an
opening through one end. This open
Ing Is filed tight with a mixture of
honey and sugar. The cage thus pre-
pared Is laid upon the tops of the
frames In the hive. The bees soon dis
cover the new queen in the cage and
set to work upon the honey and sugar.
In the hive bees recognize friends and
strangers by their sense Of smell, and
a strange queen entering hive would
be very quickly killed by the bees. BY
the time the queen is liberated from
the cage she has acquired the scent of
the hive and is therefore no longer q
stranger.-London Globe. -
