Should X remove the old lueen in a hive of bees before eplacing her with a new jueen? A. Yes, says, W. A. Stephens, 'xtension on beekeeper at State ?ollege, before placing a new ?ueen in a new home the old lueen and - all queen cells i.iusv je remove'd. The small rage ccui aining the queen should be ilaced above the cluster of lees, or between two frames of :omb so that worker bees may lave easy access to the candy illed cage entrance. It is as sumed that during liberation operation the queen takes , 011 the regular colony odors, and therefore will be accepted. Alter introduction, a week should elapse before the hive is re opened and the queen cage rp moyed: i If a queen that is to be re placed cannot be located by looking through the hi?e tiam_. . ihe bees may be run from one orood chamber through a qjieen excluder into another brood chamber with the use of smoke and the queen located in this manner. If the queen is still rue located and i freshly laid' cz .-> ire not already in ihe hive, .? frame of coinlt conlaiui.i ; eSa-> from another hive iua j be in serted. Within 24 hours b?es should begin converting workers cells into queen cells if a queen is not present. If queen cills are not started, one may saiely assume that a queen is present. 1 Question ?
