The runway {D) i^ put in place in front of the entrance. The old hive is now opened for the fir-t time. The frames are removed one at a time, lowered jiart way into the new hive, and with a quick downward shake the bees are dislodged. The frames are then put into the extra hive body (C) and immediately covered to prevent robbing. After all the frames are shaken the bees remaining on the sides of the old hive (A) are shaken Fig 6 —Appaiatus for the shaking treatment • A., Hive containing diseased colony (for- merly m position of B) ; B, clean liivo , C, emptj hive to receive combs after shaking; Dj hive covei used as lunway, E, fiames lemoved fiom B to give loom for shaking; JPj queen and drone trap, Q, covei tor clean hive, B (Original ) If honey is coming in fi^eely, so that thin honey is shaken out of the combs, cover the runway {D) with newspapers and shake the bees in front of the new hive (5), leaving all frames in place and the cover on. After the operation the soiled newspapers should be de- stroyed. In shaking in front of the entrance the first one or two frames should be so shaken that the bees are thrown again, t the entrance, where they can locate the hive quickly. They thei fan their wings and the others follow them into the hive. If this is not done the bees may wander about and get under the hive or in some other undesirable place.
