Answkr.—Bees prefer to store honey above their brood, and with room above you could hardly expect them to store below- Yet in a strong flow I have had tliem store in a story below. But they will not store be- low so soon as they will above. Natural Swarming—Moths 1. What is the object in allmving natural swarming f If the colony is strong, is it not better to make it artificial in order not to lose the swarm ? 2. I transferred bees from a box to a frame hive, and after five days found moth-worms on tha inside of the hive. How did they get there ? 'the hive new. Pennsylvania. Answers.—I. A person with no experi- ence and little knowledge of bees may find natural swarming easier than artificial. There is no need to lose a natural swarm, at least a prime swarm, if all laying queens are clipped. Yet in general it is better for most bee-keepers to avoid natural swarms— if they canl 2. The worms were in the combs in the old hive, and you transferred combs, worms, and all. If you transferred bees without combs, I give it up. Surplus Combs Below Brood-Chamber With a full depth extracting super, would it be any advantage to put the colony with the queen i7^ovf the super with a honey- board between? Would the bees store honey in it at all ? I thought perhaps the bees having to pass through the super to get to the brood-chamber they might store some honey earli
