Queens Worked to Death.

Queen bees had little rest last winter
in most parts of the country, and bee
authorities say that even those which
were new last year are likely to be worn
out at the end of the present season and
will need to be replaced.
Because of the mild winter, brood
rearing continued unusually late las,
fall and started unusually early this
spring, 80 that many queens have liter.
ally worked themselves to death. To
prevent heavy losses next winter and
spring these worn-out queens must be
replaced by young ones, according to
the experts.
The best time for requeening depends
on the honey flow. In localities, where
one main flow year is the custom, II
should be done In the last half OF that
flow; in places where the buck wheat
and other late flowers cause good later
flow, the requeening Is best done In the
first half of the late flow. 1t should be
done before the middle Of August.
Eggs for new queens are secured BY
allowing the old breeding queen to lay
eggs In an empty comb placed In the
center of the brood nest. She viii
usually f1ll the comb within . day OF
two, but 1t 10 best to look at 1t the day
after 1t 10 placed 30 that one may know
the date when most OF the eggs were
laid. He can then tell when the new
queens will batch, knowing that they
will emerge from the eggs the sixteenth
day after laying.
Give young queen to the hive earl!
In fall. Stimulate her to raise broot
late by feeding In September. 1t i
claimed that only the last hatched bee
will survive the winter. Give bee
combs of honey from the year before
or feed on every fine day with veal
sugar syrup in the open In feeders
When no natural pollen can be obtained
rye -four may be scattered about for th
same purpose.
