EniTOR:—Permit me to call the at- tention of your readers to the utility of the <iueen nursery in making tiie above changes in converting black bees into colonies of Italians. This we do by the use of the queen nursery, in the following manner:— Put into the cages of the nursery, between the tins, a few cells of sealed honey, in new comb if possible. Tlien cut from the combs of a pure Italian stock as many queen cells, large, and well developed, as you have pre- pared cages with the honey, as above. Sus- pend one of the cells in each of the QUEEN CAGES. Good care should be taken to have the best cells, and not injured by bruising, handling orjaring.
