When a queen bee is sent from one part of the Dominion to another, she lias to be provided with a bigger retinue of attendants than the Queen of England. No less than 15 worker bees acompauv her, and if the weather is at all, cold, she must have as many as 30. Their duty is to keep her warm, feed her, groom her, and in many other ways look after her welfare. Sent alone she would most certainly die. For the purpose of sending cpieen bees from one part of the country to another, the postal authorities have provided specially ventilated bags.
