Looked over brood, but found no more traces of the pest. February 14.âMany drones flying. February 20.âFound super full of sealed comb; put on "Porter" bee-escape in the evening, which answered admirably, as on the following morning only twenty drones and two workers remained.

April 2.âFound upper super full of sealed comb to bottom-bars, and put on "Porter" bee-escape in the evening. April 3.âTook off upper super, and found lower super equally full, and, after re- moving to one side, placed new sviper, with dripping frames, on hive, and, with "Porter" bee-escape beneath, placed full super on the top of escape. April 4.âTook off this super, and ob- tained 113 lb. of strained lemon-coloured honey from the two supers, leaving several pounds of honey mixed with the wax, which I was unable to squeeze out. In the super that stood on the hive several cells were filled with pollen and sealed. Put new super, with dripping starters, on super placed
