An ear-spoon or quill toothpick, cut and bent into a spoon-like form, or hard-wood stick of similar shape, is excellent to transfer the jelly and larvae. One queen-cell will furnish enough, jftty fnr frnm fichtJ:^ twelve or fourteen Of course, the larv» will be taken from the best queen in the apiary. To get these cells cared for, the frame is put in an upper story of a strong colony with a queen-excluding honey-board (Fig. 91) between two frames full of brood in all stages. They can be built out and finished below by using a^_2etforgj£iii2mc_dMaimiiliQard (Fig. 88, 92), which will surely keep the queen away. It should be placed between the same kind of frames as when put above. In ten or twelve days we have probably twelve very fine capped queen-cells which can be easily removed. Mr. W. H. Pridgen, of North Carolina, has improved Mr. Doolittle's scheme by a wholesale method of forming the cups. He fastens twelve or more of the dipping-sticks to a strip of.
