Translated into U. S. language, the record would read: ? On the M of May I overhauled the colony and found that the queen wasclipped; I gave to the colony 1 frameof brood with the adher- ing bees, and that made it have brood in 4 frames. I also found present a sealed queen- cell : May 23. I found brood in 4 frames, and 8 sealed queen-cells; May 30 I saw the old queeo, and also saw a virgin queen. -June 12 1 clipped the young queen which I found lay- ing; then marked it ' OK ' to indicate that there was no need to go into the hive ; Here's a record that is more satisfactory, not of the best colony, but one of the best, which, up to Aug. 1, gave 120 sections, with more to be heard from: " Apr 23 q cl May 3 .ibr 10th t 2 br & b 4br Jun 23 noc July 12 noc 22d noc Aug I ; And that's all the writing there will be about that colony, probably, except the figures showing the number of sections taken. In fuller language: April 22 I found that the queen was clipped ; May 2 that there were 5 frames of brood; May io I took away 2 frames of brood with adhering bees, leaving 4 frames of brood; and the " noc " at the four remaining visits means that no queen-cells were started. 2. No, there may be brood in the hive and no queen, the queen having been taken away since she layed the eggs that produced the brood. There may also be brood from laying workers. But as you gain experience you will readily tell by the appearance of eggs and brood wheiher it be the work of a normal laying
