Other divisions are made in different ways, according to circumstances. We may take only 2 or 3 frames from a full colony, with a large number of young bees, treating them in the same way as those above mentioned. Or we may divide 2 colonies to make one swarm, taking the brood from one and leaving the bees with the queen on the old stand, and taking the bees from the other by placing the division thus made on the stand of

Or we may divide 2 colonies to make one swarm, taking the brood from one and leaving the bees with the queen on the old stand, and taking the bees from the other by placing the division thus made on the stand of the second colony and removing it to a new spot. The colonies that are made from only 2 or 3 frames of brood and bees, will need to be helped later with more brood and perhaps more bees, while those that are built from 2 other hives are at once as powerful as the latter. The 2 or 3-frame colonies, narrowed to such a space as they can cover, with a division board, may be called "nuclei," while the others are at once full colonies. The method of procedure depends entirely upon.
