. Bee keeping in Maryland. Bees. 238 MARYLAND AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. (business. There is no reason, however, why it should not be made the sole means of livelihood. There are in the United States today, many men who devote all of their time to their bees, and find it a remun- erative business. With the improvement of the modern movable frame hive, together with the perfecting of systems of management, and a sufficient knowl- edge of the business, gained by study and experience, the opportuni- ties of the specialist bee keeper, were never better than they are today. The writer wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to Dr. E. F. Phillips, in charge of Apiculture, Bureau of Entomology, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, for valuable suggestions in the preparation of this bulletin and for the privilege of using many of the illustrations from Farmer's Bulletin, No. 447. Acknowledgements are also made to the A. I. Root Co., Medina, Ohio, for the use of cuts for figures 6, 12, 21, and 23. BEE BEHAVIOR. Every normal colony of bees in the active season consists of three kinds of individuals, (fig. i.) the queen, a variable number of drones, and several thousand workers. The queen is the only fully developed' female in the hive, and is the mother of all of the other bees. The. Fig. 1.—Worker, queen and drone. drones often number several hundred and are present in the hive at or near swarming time in largest number. Their sole function is to mate with the virgin queen. Towards fall the drones are destroyed by the workers, usually by being forced from the hive, where they die of starvation. The workers constitute the largest part of the colony, and in a good sized colony number 40, 000 to 70, 000. The workers are sexually undeveloped females. They perform all the labor of secreting wax and building comb, feeding the young, pro- tecting and cleaning the hive and gathering and storing honey and pollen..
