VOL, VI, FLINT, MICHIGAN, AUG. 10. 1893. NO. 8. Work at IVXicliigaxi's Experiraental Apiary. e. l. tatloe, apiaei8t. langdon's non-swaeming attachment. SS stated in my former arti- cle, five of these attachments were adjusted to hives on the 22nd day of June last, and that the condi- tions may be un- derstood as fully as possible, I must explain that at that date swarming to a moderate extent, had been going on in the apiary for a week or ten days; the hives employed also varied in capacity, three sizes being used, viz., the single story, new Heddon, double story, new Heddon,and the eight - frame dovetailed. The hives of course are used in pairs and for convenience each pair is designated by a number. Nos. 1 and .5 were each composed of one double and one single Heddon, No. 2 of two single Heddon. No. 3 of two double Heddon and No. 4 of two dovetailed hives. I wish to ex- plain liere also once for all that in this line of experiments wherever a swarm issued it was never returned to the hive from which it. came but always to the other member of the pair. The details of the swarming are as follows: No. 1 cast a swarm .June 24th, 28th, 30th and July 4th and 10th, five times; No, 2 cast a swarm June 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th and July 1st, 4th and 7th, seven times; No. 3 cast a swarm but once, on June 30th; No. 4 cast a swarm June 27th and July 2nd, twice; No 5 casta swarm June 24th, 26th and29th and July 4th and 10th, five times. In other words. No. 1, consisting of one single and one double story Heddon hive; swarmed five times, three times from the single story and twice from the double story; No. 2, consisting of two single story Heddon hives, swarmed seven times; No. 3, consisting of two two story Heddon hives, swarmed once only; No. 4, consisting of two dovetailed hives, swarmed tw
