That this brood chamber is sufficient and the 10-frame Lang- stroth insufficient, for the average prolific queen, in spring, was ascertained positively by us when, about 1876, we handled several hundred of these hives under exactly the same manage- ment, side by side with 110 10-frame Langstroth hives, which we had leased for honey production from an old

During the month of May quite a number of the Langstroth colonies, having been given supers of built combs, began to breed in those supers, while none of the queens in the Quinby-Dadant hives occu- pied the supers. This was clear evidence that it took more.
