Baby Nucleus Hive. The nucleus hive, shown in fig. 48, being 24 inches long inside, and having a flight hole and alighting-board at each end, may be used as a twin hive when so desired, the two nuclei being divided from each other by a dummy in the centre of the hive. This dummy may be either of plain wood, or perforated after the manner of the Wells dummy (see page 77); but whichever form of dummy is used, the quilt should be firmly nailed all along its top edge to prevent any chance of the bees from one nucleus finding their way into the other. Rapid Method of Building' up Baby Nuclei into Strong Stocks. Such nuclei ma}- be very rapidly built ujd, as soon as we have ascertained that the ({ueens are mated and laying, or even before that if we choose, by the addition of sections of newly hatched bees from the incubator or of sealed brood.
