Bee Keeping: Mysteries Of Bee-keeping Explained

Should the apiarian now give them a little assistance for a few days,

they will soon be in a prosperous condition. The hive should be

frequently raised, and everything brushed out clean. If it is a new

swarm half full, that presents these indications, it should be turned

over a few times, perhaps once a week, till the worms are mastered; and

the corners below the bees examined for the cocoons, that will very

often be found there, and are easily detached and destroyed. In turning

over a hive part full, in warm weather, you should first observe the

position of the combs, and let the edges rest against the side of the

hive, otherwise they might bend over and break loose when the hive was

again set up, (by simply making a pencil mark across the top in the

direction of the combs, you may know any time after first looking).
