The workers can easily be imprisoned, as shown at No. i, Fig. 92. Botli hands are left free to work by resting the comb upside down on the top of the frames, the cage is held below the cluster of bees, and the workers scraped down with the glass slip. The holes will be filled, but it is an easy matter to liberate the workers until just sufficient are left as attendants to the queen, she being placed in the cage last. The method of catching the queen is shown at No. 2. The comb is held steady with the left hand. No. 3 shows the queen caught, while at No. 4 she is being put into the cage. A closer view, No. 5, shows how the slip'of glass is used when rumiing her in (note the upward slant of the cage to keep the workers in the top hole). No. 6 illustrates the sliding on of the zinc in place of the glass (note the zinc is allowed to pass under the glass). The large cage will carry more food and thirty to forty workers. In the small cage six to eight attend- ants should be put with the queen in warm weather and a dozen to fifteen when it is cold. In a case of emergency a queen cage on the lines of the pipe cover can be made as shown at No. 13, Fig. 84.
