To Bee Culture
This district is very favorable to
bees if they can be situated near
a large burn. Bees will gather
honey over a large area, But to

over one-half mile for their
main supply.
From 30,000 to 40,000 bees are
found in each strong, healthy col­
ony and if you find several weak
swarms in the spring of the year
these may be united and later di­
vided again. It is advisable to In­
troduce new queens when they are
divided.
Bees, if not carefully watched,
will begin swarming here in April.
This can be prevented by cutting
out queen cells and adding supers
or full hives on top of the origin­
al hive. These additional suoers
or hives should be filled with
frames containing comb foundation.
Bees should never be allowed to
swarm but should be divided if
now swarms are wanted. ...
