By placing the frames with capped queen-cells in this, the queens develop as well as if in a hive or nucleus. If the young queens, just from the cell, are introduced into a Fig. queenless colony or nucleus, as first shown by Mr. Lang- stroth, they are usually well received. Unless one is rear- ing a great many queens, this lamp nursery is not desirable, as we still have to use the nucleus to get the young queens fecundated, have to watch carefully to get the young queens as soon as they appear, must guard it carefully as moths are apt to get in, and, finally, unless great pains are taken, this method will give us inferior queens. INIr. W. Z. Hutchinson, one of our best queen-breeders, thinks very highly of the lamp nursery. Some bee-keepers use a cage (Fig. 95) with projecting pins which are pushed into the comb, so that thev hold the.
