THE queen bee is now fertilised for life. She
never mates again, although she may lay as
many as 5000 eggs day for the four years Of
her life.
Prior 10 her meeting with the drone she
could have laid eggs, but they would have pro-
duced nothing but drones Now she can pro-
duce workers and queens as well as drones.
Back in the hive once more the queen bee
lays and places in their proper cells Just the
number of eggs Of each sex that she desires.
This matter Of placing the eggs in the cells Is
OF high importance; eggs placed in the drone
cells hatch out nothing bat dyones, and eggs
placed in the workers cells produce nothing
but workers.

feeding is done by bee nurses, which are young
workers that have just Matched.
The queen comes from an egg that would
normally produce a worker. When queen is
desired the workers enlarge regular worker
cell into q queen cell, and as soon as the grub
is Matched the nurse bees feed 1t on Q special
diet which we call royal Jelly instead OF the
bee bread. So, you see, the difference between
queen and worker comes Just from more room
and q richer diet.
In 16 days the new queen comes forth fully
developed and immediately gains the entire
attention of the workers Her first impulse is
to kill any other queen that may have Matched
ut the same time. When she finds one fight

It is in connection with the production Of q
new queen that the familiar phenomenon known
as swarming occurs. This in the ordinary
course of events generally takes place when the
population of the hive has grown so fast that
the hive is Observation-Disclosures Mr.. Smith Is
able to produce new queens for the market
simply by building artificial queen cells and
placing them IN the hive.
MAYHEM time for swarming comes the hive
Wv is a busy place. Bees stream forth into
the air frantically, accompanied by the old
queen who takes a place in the middle of the
dense swarm. OF moves the cloud of bees TO
seek a new home; generally they soon form
solid cluster on the bTancn OF some tree OF ousLs
Commercial bee keepers Immediately go to
the spot with 'hiving box" and, holding 1t
under the cluster gently shake the branch,
whereupon the bees drop into 1t, whence they
can be transferred TO comb hive prepared
for their reception.
Meanwhile the bees that have been left be-
hind take possession Of the old hive, with the
new queen in their midst as ruler
The worker has been closely studded for
many years, and her ideal adaptation for her
Job is evident upon examination. Each worker
has special comb ON the legs to gather pollen
from flowers, and accompanying it are pollen
baskets in which the pollen is carried.
The worker is also a sort Of flying chemical
laboratory. She can transform the nectar that
she sips from flowers into honey or into royal
Jelly for the queen, just as she desires. Her
average length of life is only about six weeks.
Incidentally, the deadly singer that the
worker carries causes her death when she
uses it on a human being. 1t is barbed and
remains fixed in the victims body tearing out
the bees vital organs.

NEW YORK, Feb. q U.N.S).
After starting the day at slightly
higher prices, the market fav-
orites ran into a flood Of selling
orders in the second hour today
and were pushed back a point or
two from the opening prices.
A few Of the high-priced spe-
'cialtieS slipped off 2 to 6 points,
but losses in this section Of the
list were quickly regained.
Utilities Hold Ground
The utility stocks as a group
held their ground. Radio was ur1-

Weakness in the grain market
induced selling Of stocks in some
Of the outside points. Corn broke
o cent bushel to the lowest price
of the year, and in some Of the
western centers the banks were
reported raising the margin on
wheat loans to 20 cents a bushel.
Good reports continued from
the steel and automobile indus
tries as well as the textile trades,
where there has been an increase
In demand for cotton cloths.
Trading tapered off in volume
.as prices declined, and the selling
wave appeared to erach its crest
early in the second hour.

After dropping off from 70 to

90, and similar recoverieS were
made in other speculative favor

Anaconda and Kennecott Copper

This mere statement Of ac-
complishment, however, does not
give a true picture Of the course
of the days activity, for in the
final half hour a heavy selling
attack developed which forced
most sections Of the list to re.
trace q good portion of their
earlier advances, and carried q
large number of trading leaders
to levels under that of the pre-
ceding days close.
OminOus Feature
An ominous feature of the ses-
sion was the revival Of interest
in the utility group, for it was
this section of the general mar
ket which was the center Of the
speculative limelight in July and
August of 1929, just preceding
the initial stages of the 1929
1880 bear market.
Growing signs that distribution
is in progress was apparently
confirmed in the declining ten
denotes evidenced in American
Can, General Motors and Vana-
dunn, three stocks which in the
ordinary course of events might
be expected to be we'll in the
van of any sustained market re-
cOvery.
Issues to Watch
Bangor and ArooStook is pointed
to as one of the possible leaders
should any general move in the
rail group get under way. This
carrier was one of the few able
to show improvement in 1880,
reporting per share earnings Of
1925 as compared with $8.46 in
1929. The current yield obtain
able on the annual $3.50 dividend
is approximately 51a per cent.
General American Tank Car is
believed to. possess investment
merit around current levels. The
company earned '$8.03 a share in
1880 compared with $7.55 in
1929, continuing the upward
trend in net earnings which has
been uninterrupted since 1921.
The stock pays 81 annually in
cash and 4 per cent in common
stock, affording a dividend return
of over 9 per cent.
American Safety Razor is
another of the many comparatively
backward issues which appears
reasonably valued on basis Of
earnings and dividend yield.

car is to be maintained in safe
driving condition. The element of
hazard enters into the situation
very largely because of the typical
automobile owners over confidence
in the ability of his machines
brakes, headlights, etc.. to ade-
quately perform in an emergency.
Then, too, many owners are totally
unaware of the existence of faulty
equipment. This is due largely to
the lack of periodic inspections of
cars and to the overlooking of the
fact that the automobile is a po-
tential element of danger in most
highway accidents. Some officials
have expressed considerable fear
that many motorists will not avail
themselves of the free inspection
campaign and will later feel in
censed when compelled to submit
their cars for inspection in accord
ance with the State law prior to
receiving their registrations for
the ensuing year.
