I feel like driving a " coach and six " right through C. W. Dayton's three requirements for swarming. These were old queen, populous colony, and honey-flow. One may have the young- est kind of a queen, only a few hours old, a colony not nearly populous enough to do good work, and decided dearth of nectar in the fiowers ; and yet with a swarmy strain of bees, and a swarmy location, and the cell build- ing half of a recently divided colony, there may be a natural swarm.

But it must be thoroughly rascal-proof, else a less convenient kind that is proof would be greatly preferable. Right at this point the oft-recurring need of reliquefying may be bothersome. Who'll give us a seal that will hang tight to its duty while the package is being reliquefied ? Page 1004. Valuable Quality of Caucasian Bees.
