How much, de- pends upon weather and circumstances. G. W. Demaree—1 and 2. In warm weather they will, and sometimes sooner, as they are apt to begin with a three or four days' old larva, aud for this reason nucleus colonies cannot be depended upou to rear uniformly good queens, un- less they are furnisht with good queen- cells. J. E. Pond—1 and 2. In my own ex- perience a 2-frame nucleus properly guarded will rear a queen as quickly as a large colony. The strength of a col- ony is relative. A 2-frame nucleus might be a strong colony, while three times the number of bees on a full hive would be weak. Keep all colonies strong, in order to get the best results.

I left the section-cases on most of them, filled with comb in the sections, and some with honey. Sis of the colonies I put into the cellar: they were the weakest ones, making 3(1 in all. They seem to be doin
