Fifteen days later, in transferring, the two brood-stories should be taken off and placed beside the parent colony. Eight days later reduce down to 20 frames, give them a strip of eggs, (( la Alley, and you will have a num- ber of queens 25 percent superior to those reared under the swarming impulse. Two weeks after the eggs are given, kill the queen in the old colony, give half of the brood to the parent colony that has the cap- ped cells, and, at the same time give the old colony two cells from this parent colony, pro- tected, nfa West. You will now have your whole apiary requeened, which is very essen- tial in the " shook " swarm system.—Geo. RocKENBACH, in Progressive Bee-Keeper. The Canadian Honey Harvest.

Western and Southern Ontario have had a good yield from clover. Basswood is doing fairly well at this date of writing, although the unsettled weather is rather against the bees working on it to the best advantage.
