Tree passage Oh lne Dees 10 the sur
plus stories above. Then | place
underneath the brood chamber what
is called the Simmons Non Swarming
Chamber having frames with about
IA inch starters of foundation. The
author OF this system states he can
produce three times the crop by using
it.
BY fixing our bees thoroughly at
this time when it is usually possible
to get time to do this we can prepare
against muoh trouble later. For In
spite of good resolutions the beekeep-
er with many yards must find him
self driven with work during the sur
plus or with us the clover flow. While
in my own practice | go over my
bees two or three times during the
honey flow to look for signs of swarm
ing If | get time. If not with this
thorough preparation | feel safe in
getting honey crop, and merely treat
my bees that show signs OF swarming
or trouble and preferably those be-
/ ing run for comb honey.
1t seems good to see such men as
Mr.. George S. Demuth own that they
j do not look for queen cells in SOME
seasons but once and have not for
some years systematically requeened
their bees and others like the Editor
| of the American Bee journal admit
that they do not clip the queens wings
although they believe in and recon-
mend the practice. We place much
stress upon some of these practices
and rightfully but it is even better
to be honest with ourselves ana otn-
ers.
Sometimes to remember-that
swarm control is easy If we run for
extracted honey-that bees are sub
iect to a great deal of expansion by
heat-I have already told you how
/ prepare for and manage this in The
Simmonds Non Swarming Chamber)
| much as rs per cent of its swarming
| is sometimes caused by superceedure
and further that good honey flow
| Is one OF the best things to help con-
troll swarming.
IF we wonld learn to properly care
for tbese things T have lust mention
adj halieve we could forget much
