Let me add one suggestion to the instructions to F. M. L., on page 716
of the BEE JOURNAL for Dec. 7, 1893, relative to drumming bees out
of a hive with cross combs, into a box above. If he will go to some
hive having nice, straight comb, and get a frame or two with unsealed
brood, and put in the upper box or hive, I am of the opinion his bees
will go up more readily, and stay better contented. Then, too, it will
be much easier to find the queen if he desires to supersede her.
