SUCCESS IN BEE MANAGEMENT
by swsrmIns as Formerly
Various Methods.

fBy F.. + PHILLIPS. Phi. ID
The excessive rearing Of brood az
the wrong season or increase in the
number Of colonies greatly reduces
the surplus honey crop by consump-
ton The ideal TO which all progress
sive bee keepers work. when operat-
Ing simply for honey. is to stimulate
brood rearing TO prepare bees Tor

II is less desirable. and TO prevent
swarming Very few succeed in en-
tirely preventing swarming but by va
rious methods the situation can be
largely controlled.
When a swarm issues. It usually FIRST

swarmng. 20 go through the apiary
and clip one wing OF each queen 30
that II q swarm issues the queen can
not fly and the bees can be easily re-
turned 10 the old stand. This should
be done before the hive becomes too
populous IL is perhaps best to clip
queens as they are introduced. but
some colonies may rear new ones
without tie knowledge OF the owner.
and a spring examination will insure
no escaping swarms.
When clipping the queens wing is
not practiced. 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 10 an upper
compartment from which they cannot
return These are also used for keep
ing undesirable drones from escaping,
and 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 'hopelessly queenless" Bee
keepers in the north can frequently
buy queens from southern breeders
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
