To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Should the bees appear crowded with only the combs transferred, give a frame of foundation in the centre, and another as soon as they begin to cluster on the, outside of the division board. Feed carefully so that there is always a little store in hand, but not enough to hinder the operations of the queen. Continue such stimulation until honey comes in. It is so frequently recommended that the contents of fixed- comb hives should be transferred twenty-one days after swarming, that I consider it ...advisable to show that this waste of time is quite unnecessary. The swarm should be hived upon six or seven sheets of foundation close to the parent colony and facing the same way. Within ten days the young queens will be hatching out when a cast or second swarm would issue. This appears to have been overlooked; therefore I advise transferring on the seventh day after the issue of the first swarm, first carefully removing one of the queen cells before drumming on the hive. While shifting the combs remove all the other royal cells, and after the operation return the one previously removed, which meanwhile should have been placed above the first swarm between the quilting to prevent chill.
