At the end Of q desperate chase the Of.

Perforated Zinc Queen E.xcluder.

It is desirable, early in the season,
before any preparations are made for
sWarming, TO go through the apiary
and clip one wing of each queen, SO
that If a swarm issues the queen can
not fly, and the bees can be easily re-
turned to the old stand. This should
be done before the hive becomes too
populous- 1t is perhaps best to clip
queens as they are introduced, but
some colonies may rear new ones
without the knowledge Of the owner,
and a spring examination will insure
no escaping swarrns.
When clipping the queens wing is
not Dracticed, swarms may be pre-
vented from leaving by the use OF
queen traps of perforated zinc. These
allow the workers to pass out, but not
drones or queens, which. on leaving
the entrance, pass up to an upper
compartment. from which they cannot
return. These are also used for keep
ing undesirable drones from escaping,
ard the drones die of starvation.
Queens sometimes die during the
winter and early spring, and. since
there is no brood from which the bees
can replace them, the ~queenless colo
MES are "nopelessiy queenless." Bee
keepers in the North can frequently
buy queens from Southern breeder.
early in the spring, and naturally this
is better than leaving the colony with
out a queen until the bees can rear
one, as it Is important that there be
no stoppage in brood rearing at this
season.

SWARM MANAGEMENT AND INCREASE
Success in Bee Keeping Not Now Measured nv tho morocco :,
Swarming as Formerly.
ty e. F. PHIL LIPS. PHI. n,
SWarming as FOrmerl'

The excessive rearing Of brood at
the wrong season, or increase in the
lumber Of colonies, greatly reduces
the surplus honey crop by consumn-
zion. The ideal to which all progress
slVe bee keepers work, when operat-
ing simply for honey, is to stimulate
BROOD rearing to prepare bees for
gathering, to retard breeding when il
is less desirable, and to prevent
sWarming. Very few succeed in en-
TREY preventing sWarmine, but by
various methods the situation can he
largely controlled.
When a swarm issues it usually first
settles on a limb of & tree or bush
near the apiary. It was formerly
common to make a noise by beating
pans or ringing bells in the belief hat
SIIis causes the swarm to settle. There
70 no foundation for such action on the
part Of the bee keeper. If the bees
light on q small limb that can be
spared, Il may simply be sawed off
and the bees carried to the hive and
thrown on q sheet Or hive cover in
front of the entrance. If the limb
cannot be cut, the swarm can be
shaken off into a box or basket on a
pole and hived. If the bees light on
the trunk of a tree or in some mac
cessib1e place, they can first be at
tracted away by a comb. preferably
containing unsealed brood. In these
man~iDulations it is not necessary to
get all the bees. but if the queen Is
not with those which are-put in the
hive the bees will go into the air
again and join the cluster.

The common cow is the o~utgrOWth
