CO., New usa. Baby Nuclei—An Explanation. Once or twice I have seen references in the American Bee Journal regard- ing- the giving of Mr. Pharr his due, or not giving him his due, for the in- vention of the baby nuclei for mating queens. As my name has been men- tioned in the matter, please allow me a little space for an explanation. Two years ago Mr. C. B.
