Text Appearing After Image: ZOOLOGY The introduced, semi-domesticated honey-bees havequite a different social economy. In the first place, thenest is perennial; consequently the young and old queenscannot remain in the same hive, else the nest wouldbecome overcrowded by the presence of too many families.As }roung queens mature, the old queen seeks to destroy them ; but she is usnsillyforced out of the hiveby the workers, a num-ber of which accompanyher. This migration iswhat we call swarm-ing. 1 When severalyoung queens mature atthe same time, duels orrepeated swarmings en-sue until only one queenremains. When a newcolony is started in ahive or hollow tree, acomb is formed of waxsecreted by the workerbees, and into this thequeen deposits eggs des-tined to develop into workers. Still later, eggs destined to form drones are laid incells larger than those in which workers develop. The de-veloping young workers and drones are fed with honey andbee-bread.
