First See That They Are Well Fed-- Examine Hives Carefully for Foul Brood----Clip the Queen's Wings-- Making and Controlling Increase. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) 3 ~ Unless the beekeeper gave each olony an abundance of feed in the fall, not less than fifty pounds per onfes which do not have at least I! twenty-five pounds of stores left in the hive, Many colonies starve in the I} spring and many others remain weak because there is'not sufficient food in the hive to allow the queeh to lay to One frame of honey is re- quired to produce one frame of brood and to be in condition to give a good surplus honey crop there should be not lees than ten frames of brood by June 16th. The syrup for spring feeding should be two parts water and one part sugar. Care must be taken against robbing when feeding i the syrup. The entrances of all colonies should be reduced so that only a few bees can enter the cclony at one time, This tends torprevent weak colonies from being robbed and also keeps the colonies warmer, which permits an expanded brood-nest. Queenless colonies and colonies which do not cover two frames thick- ly, should be united with strong col- '| onies, The simplest method of unit- ing colcnies in early spring is to place the very weénk or queenless col- onies on top of strong queen-right colonies, with one sheet of newspaper between the two broog chambers. THis should be completed in the evening. The bees will quickly gnaw through the newspaper and unite peacefully. If American foul-brood is present in the apiary, colonies must not he united unless to other colonies having American foul-brood. ; When the colonies have been unit- ed and have sufficient food, they need no further manipulation until the period when dandelions and fruit trees bloom. This is a very important time and a little attention given to the bees will result in increased profit later. The three manipulations which should be completed during the dan- delion and fruit bloom period are (1) Clip the wings of queens; (2) Exam- ine every colony for foul-brood; (3) Give all strong colonies extra room. We clip queens' wings to control the swarm, also that the age of the queen may be known. A part of the two wings on one side are removed with the aid of a small pair of scis- sors. The reasons for clipping the wings of the queens during this per- lod are as follows: (1) Queens are easily found; (2) There is little like- lihood of clipping virgin queen; (3) During a honey flow queens are less liable to be killed; (4) The operation is completed before the swarming season commences, The brood-chamber of every colony is examined for American and Euro- pean foul-brood. If the colonies be- came infegied the previous fall or secured infécted honey through rob- bing or otherwise in early spring, American foul-brood will most likely be found at this examination and preparations can be made for treat ing the diseased colonies either at once or at the beginning of the main flow in June. : If European foul-brood is present it can be easily detected at this time and preparations completed so that it cannot do serious damage. While American foul-brood is apparently only contagious, European foul-brood is highly infectious and endemic, where black or hybrid 8 are kept. Resistant strains of Italian bees, strong colonies and an abundance of stores will rob European foul-brood of its menace to beekeeping. The third manipulation at this to add an extra brood- time is "chamber to every reasonably strong colony. No queen-excluder is used and the queen has the use of the double' brood-chamber, until the clo- ver honey flow hae nicely commenced. In some seasons when the weather is favorable the stronger colonies may even need a third hive-body above an excluder, as a super for surplus honey from fruit blossoms and dandelions. While swarming does not usually occur until late June and early July, the swarming fever commences in many colonies during the fruit bloom and dandelion period because they are crowded and have not sufficient room to store surplus honey and en- large the brood-nest. When the clovers hegin to yield, it is time for the beekeeper tc crowd the queen into the lower brood- chamber. Take énough frames of the youngest brood, unsealed and eggs, and place these in the upper brood- chamber. Then place the remaining combs =nd queen In the botiom brood-chamber and place a queen excluder or top, Next place on aa emply super and the full hive-body of b on top of the super. the beekceper wishes to make increase, this body of brood can be removed to a new stand ten Jays af- ter it was placed on top of the super. Unless the honey flow has stopped, ripe queen-cells will be found and all the brood will be sealed so that when the fleld-bees have returned to the ive, there will be little dan- iling 1h brood. be sure the ger of to Ef: i fi the first manipulation in | '| 16th (Special). --Away up DEATH OF SAMUEL SWITZER He Was a Fine Photographer | --Lived Long Years at Newboro.
