Dear Sammy;—Tell your friend to go slow about shaking bees. In a good season excel- lent results can be obtained, while in a poor season the more they are " shook *" the poorer the results. Tliose who undertake it should be thoroughly familiar with all de- tails, and your friend could profit by read- ing tiie excellent articles that appear in the bee-publications from time to lime. Perhaps the most practical method of shaking is where one produces both comb and extracted honey, and permits swarming with his comb-honey colonies. When a swarm issues, hive it on the old location, using starters onlv in brood-frames, a queen- excluding honev-board. and the super from the parent hive, and then brush every bee in with the new swarm. The set of combs containing brood should then be placed over a honev-board on another hive for extract- ing. This method is thoroughly practical, and permits swarming without increase. Such newlv-hived swarms will give better results than any normal hive in the same yard, for obvious reasons—storing goes right ahead in the brood requiring the attention of workers, no danger of second swarms. , ,, , ,, Sammy, I enclose two 5-dollar bills, and your ma says to ask you if linen collars are not pretty high in Vincennes.
