I have shown to him that he never will be able, notwithstanding his blessed Brazil, to obtain such quanti- ties as have been obtained by the most successful American apiarists, because he only and solely carries on swarm-cul- ture, gains about 700 swarms from 135 hives, which he stows away in old pack- ing boxes, barrels, etc., and, as he seems to know nothing of honey extrac- tors, he obtains only strained honey, which he divides from the wax by means of a steam press. These hints will prove to you, I think, how arrogantly Hannemann tries to drag American apicultural matters into the mud. But at the same time, the proofs will be furnished to you in an article, which was written by me, and which will shortly appear in the Bienen Zeitung, that I have not read the American Bee Journal up to the present day without having derived some benefit from it; and, also, what sympathy I feel for my transatlantic brother bee- keepers.

The inexperienced will observe the unusual commotion in the hive, and squads of restless bees will be noticed running about the outside of it. About 24 hours later, quiet is restored, the bees have realized their loss, and proceed to start queen cells. The first work no- ticed is the widening of those worker cells containing eggs or la
