. British bee journal & bee-keepers adviser. Bees. 40 THE BRITISH BEE JOURNAL. Jan. 31, BREEDING FROM GOOD QUEEN. [9074] I have a stock of bees with very good queen which was far in advance., of other stocks last year both in honey gathering and non-swarming. It is my wish during next season to make as many stocks as possible from this one to keep the strain. I don't wish to weaken a lot of other stocks in doing it, but would prefer to use this one, and, say, one other to make, the increase. Whatever increase I made I should require it to build up strong and gather sufficient stores
. British bee journal & bee-keepers adviser. Bees. 40 THE BRITISH BEE JOURNAL. Jan. 31, BREEDING FROM GOOD QUEEN. [9074] I have a stock of bees with very good queen which was far in advance., of other stocks last year both in honey gathering and non-swarming. It is my wish during next season to make as many stocks as possible from this one to keep the strain. I don't wish to weaken a lot of other stocks in doing it, but would prefer to use this one, and, say, one other to make, the increase. Whatever increase I made I should require it to build up strong and gather sufficient stores for next winter, as feeding to any extent except with honey is out of the question. If you will give me the best method to carry out this work I shall be greatly obliged.—Increase. [We should recommend you to place the good stock in a hive, as illustrated Fig. 44, page 70, British Bee Journal, ' March 2, 1916. You can then obtain as many queen cells as you desire from it for placing in nuclei or in dequeened stocks.].
