Beedom Boiled Down Anticipated Swarming. What we call here now "brushed" or " shook " swarms are called in Europe " au- ticipated " swarms. Two methods have been in use there for quite a number of years. The first is called anticipated swarming by single permutation. It is exactly the process used here and needs not to be described. The second is much the best and is called antici- pated swarming by double permutition. To explain it as clearly as possible, let us suppose that the apiary contains only two hives and an unoccupied stand, thus: Stand No. 1. Stand No. 2. Stand No. 3. When the time to operate comes the hive No. 2 is placed on stand No. 3. The queen and all the bees of hive No. 1 are driven out and put in a new hive on their own stand. They constitute a swarm just in the same con- dition as those made by single permutation. The hive No. 1 thus deprived of its bees and queen is then placed on stand No. 2 and re- ceive there the field-bees of hive No. 2. We have then: Swarm. Hive No. 1. Hive No. 2. Stand No. 1. Stand No. 2. Stand No. 3. Eight days later the hive No. 1 being with- out queen, will have a number of queen-cells. It is then put on stand No. 3 and the hive No. 3 brought back to its place. We have finally: Swarm. Hive No. 2. Stand No. 2. Now for the advantages of this method: The swarm on stand No
