Mr. Wells has been most kind in making public his system ; but I can certainly get larger results from the worst two of my single hives than he seems to get from his two queens, which, of course, are really two hives. Then, again, I know of several cases where stocks were simply put one on the top of the other in spring (of course, with excluder between), and both entra
