nd it is generally laid down as a rule, I be-lieve, tliat l)ees^never swarm ludess theyhave a (jueen to go with them. Well, now,although I have never had a case that Iknow of where a swarm went out without a(jneen. or, at least, where there was a (jueenin the hive, that tried to go. I believe wehave had several reports where they did this.I think friend Doolittle said his bees swarm-ed out without (jueens one season. Whenthe young (jueens hatch out they will oftenlead out a swarm, and sometimes a swarmwill break up in little bunches, each bunchhaving a queen. If they do. let them do so,and make nuclei of these liule swarms. Ifa large swarm goes out with one of theseque(^ns, give her enough bees to form a nu-cleus, and send the rest back home, fen- theywill always go home if their (jueen is takeiiaway. I say they will ahiHii/s go home iftheir queen is taken away ; l3ut there is onechance of a mishap. If another swarmshould come out having another queen, theywould unite with this swarm.
