Dear Miss Wilson :—What would you do if you had lost all of your bees excepting^ 2 colonies (saved 2 out of 12), and wanted to increase them as rapidly as possible, rearing' your own queens ? This has been the coldest winter on record in Connecti- cut, and almost everybody has lost half, if not all, of their bees, in this part of the State. I enclose a clipping- from the Danbury News, written by Mr. H. L*. Jeffrey. The 2 colonies I have left have queens from Dr. Miller's stock. Why they did not die I can not tell, as xhey were packed exactly the same. I enjoy the Sisters' column very much, and find it very helpful. Florence W. Sagendorf. Fairfield Co., Conn., March 25. Just what would be the best way for you may not be easily told. In the first place, I should read up all the lit- erature on hand pertaining to the subject in books and bee- papers, and then try to decide which plan I could work best. In Dr. Miller's " Forty Years Among- the Bees " you will find some practical instruction on the subject, pages 252-261. In any case, the first thing is to let the colonies become strong. Nothing will be gained, and something may be lost, by attempting division too early. Here is one plan you may follow : If there is a difference in queens, suppose No. 1 has the best queen. When both colonies are fairly strong, each having five or six frames of brood, take from No. 2 one or two frames of the ripest brood and exchange with No. 1 for frames with younger brood, or perhaps with little or no brood. Perhaps a week later the same thing may be re- peated. Thus No. 1 will be likely to swarm earlier. When it swarms, hive the swarm on a new stand. A week later divide the old colony into nuclei, giving each nucleus two frames of brood with adhering bees, leaving on the old stand only one frame of brood, as
