Excerpt from The American Apiculturist, Vol. 8: A Journal for the Novice and Expert in Beekeeping; January 1-December 1, 1890 Sometimes a queen may be found that seems to take pleasure in depositing all the drone eggs that she can find the proper drone cells to drop the eggs into. When I find a queen of this kind I usually work her to her full capacity in the line for which she seems to have a special gift. As she fills a comb with drone eggs it is removed to the queen less colony or to one rearing queens, and another comb is inserted in its place.

Excerpt from The American Apiculturist, 1891, Vol. 9: A Journal Devoted to Practical Beekeeping If bees can be successfully united by dredging them with our, then we shall have to credit our English friends with doing something with bees that we Americans have not. We never dredged with our before uniting, but have used our without good results after the bees commenced to kill each other We think there is a much better way to unite bees than the our process. The method was given in a recent issue of the api. The roaring heard in a hive in the Winter does not always indicate that something is wrong with the bees. Sometimes bees consume all the stores within reach of the cluster and it is nec essary for them to move into another part of the hive for their food. When this takes place, a roaring noise in the hive will be heard. The whole colony must be aroused, warmed up, and got ready to take up the line of march. Hence the roaring noise that is some times heard. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The American Apiculturist, Vol. 4: A Journal Devoted to Scientific and Practical Beekeeping, January 1, 1886 This was well enough when all of us were mere students and novices, but the time has come for practical work. Thousands of families are to be fed and clothed and educated from the proceeds of the apiary, There was a time when it took years of labor and study to master the sci ence of bee-culture, and this because it was more difficult to unlearn the blind, conceited blunders of the past, than it was to comprehend the new light that promised better things to beekeepers.

Excerpt from The American Apiculturist, Vol. 5: A Journal Devoted to Practical Beekeeping During the past several years we have heard farmers complaining of the exorbitant charges of railroad corporations and of the profits of middle men. We should naturally suppose that, under these circum stances, they would use the railroads as little as possible and find custo mers for their products without the intervention of the middle man. We should scarcely expect that farmers would sell their hogs for instance, as many are now doing, for three cents per pound, pay freight on them to some distant city, pay a profit to the dealer, to the packer, to the whole saler, and then buy hams and lard back again when they might as well kill their own hogs, cure their own pork, render their own lard, and sell them to their neighbors direct. If one will look around him he cannot fail to see that it is simply custom running wild. It may be wondered what this has to do with bees or honey. It has not had much to do heretofore, but the time is drawing near when itis likely to have considerable to do with the profits of the apiary.

Excerpt from The American Apiculturist, 1888, Vol. 6: A Journal Devoted to Scientific and Practical Beekeeping It has not only been haphazard mating, but every form of in breeding has gone on uninterruptedly. The wonder is that the bee of the present time has not degenerated from the good old stock of a thousand years ago. Now I shall assert that what is true of the human race and of the higher animals is also true as applied to the honey bee. In-and-in breeding is productive of evil in the animal and vegetable kingdoms throughout and there are no exceptions to the general rules anywhere. A single cross of near relatives is productive of little mischief; it is the repeated crosses of near relatives that cause evil. In early times we have many recorded instances of the union of near relatives in marriage. Moses was a son of a brother and sister, but by him came the law doing away with the intermarrying of near relatives. Thus, the evils of the practice were early perceived and they were abated for the benefit of the race. Barrenness was one of the notable results. In the vegetable kingdom, the universality of the law against the uniting of near relatives is made manifest in non-productiveness, and it has long been one of the most potent arguments of beekeepers in the interest of the honey bee that it was one of the chief agents in effecting the cross-fertilization of flowers, thus aiding directly in promoting the productiveness of all kinds of fruit trees. I shall make the point that everywhere in nature the highest order of fertility is where cross-fertilization is possible. In other words, hermaphrodite generation is opposed to great productiveness wherever found. The uniting of brother and sister is a form of hermaphrodite generation and the disposition, as we have seen, is toward barrenness. My experience with queens mated to nearly related drones is that the prolificness is impaired, and continued in-breeding results in queens that are wholly worthless to the practical beekeeper. On the contrary, every radical cross and every queen mated to an unrelated drone has been normally prolific and many of them remarkably so. In addition to this fact the working quality is perceptibly augmented. It has also appeared that the workers were longer lived, showing greater vitality. I think we shall find that the impairment of vitality from too close breeding will be manifest, not in sickly bees, but in comparatively short-lived bees. The farther we pursue this line of investigation, the more we shall find to convince us that the greatest success in our efforts to improve the honey bee both as to the prolificness of queens and the vigor and working qualities of the workers will be where we make crosses of the best unrelated queens and drones. If, in addition to this, we make individual selection we shall be certain of success and the "coming bee" will soon be in the range of possibility. A plan to this end has already been inaugurated by D. A. Jones, G. M. Doolittle, Abbott L. Swinson and myself in sending out virgin queens to be mated in distant apiaries. Surely, there will be no mistake in getting queens mated to unrelated drones by this method. Very satisfactory results the past season have already been noted by Mr. Doolittle from this practice.
