Not Too Many Stocks Taken Out At Once

Categories: WINTERING BEES.
Bee Keeping: Mysteries Of Bee-keeping Explained

When too many are taken out at once, the rush from all the hives is so

much like a swarm, that it appears to confuse them. Some of the stocks

by this means will get more bees than actually belong to them, while

others are proportionably short, which is unprofitable, and to equalize

them is some trouble; yet it may be done. Being all wintered in one

room, the scent or the means of distinguishing their own family from

strangers, becomes so much alike, that they mix together without

contention.
