CHAPTER II. BREEDING. t REARING BROOD. In this latitude all strong stocks begin to rear brood in January; indeed, in many cases they do not entirely cease; and I believe this is their natural habit in climes most congenial to them. They begin by depositing eggs in a circle on each side of a comb, exactly opposite each other, and thus the heat is economized and concentrated to the best possible advantage. I have frequently seen this circle not more than an inch and a half in diameter, but the amount is gradually increased toward spring; and when the weather becomes warm and the fruit tree flowers expand, the quantity of brood is greatly augmented. Here, again, we are constrained to believe that the bee possesses almost reasoning power. The colony is being constantly reduced by the number dying off during the winter, and in many cases if no young ones were reared to supply their places, the colony would become extinct before warm weather arrived; if but a small number is being constantly reared, it serves to keep up the colony. It requires, says Bevan, 70 degrees Fahrenheit to hatch the eggs, consequently weak stocks can make but little progressuntil warm weather; hence it is that strong stocks outstrip them so far, and are so much more profitable. MODE OF COMMENCING. I quote from Mr. Quinby: The first eggs are deposited in the centre of the cluster of bees, in a small family; it may not be in the centre of the hive in all cases; but the middle of the cluster is the warmest place, wherever located. Here the queen will first commence; a few cells, or a space not larger than a dollar, is first used, those exactly opposite on the same comb are next occupied. If the warmth of the hive will allow, whether mild weather produces it or the family be large enough...
