GHIRARDELLIS (jwm^ CHOCOLATE If the beekeeper does not Interfere, the colony may cast one or more afterswarms, each accompanied by one or more of the recently emerged virgin mieens. When there are no longer sufficient bees left to divide up among the emerging queens, all but one of the young queens are killed, this sur- viving one in the normal course of events later be- coming established as the new mother of the parent colony. The rapid emergence of young bees soon restores the parent colony to good strength, but when swarming takes place during the honey-flow he parent colony may not recover sufficient strength in field workers to take an Important part In gathering the season's crop of honey.
