Bee-IItvcs ana their Positions.
Il s common practice among amateur
ppiarists to place their hives close togcth.

ting the work of sheltering them aud di.
minishing the expense OF it. Besides, it il
assumed that, when the colonies arc placed
side NY side, they are in better position
10 repel forays from foreign maraudcrs
than when isolated from each other. How
much Of truth thero may be in this assnmp.
ton we ore not prepared to say, nor is II
necessary to discuss its reasOuabcncss or
pass upon it's correctness here. If stocks
are to he wintcrod upon ihe summer stands
it would seem natural TO inter that, 10y
placing the hives close together they would
become mutual aids in tho generation of
heat, aud thus pass through the cold season
with loss disaster from its rigors than when
exposed singly TO them.
But when spring opens, the condition of
things is changed, aud no should be the po.
siton Of tho hoe colonies, with relation to
each other, II is well known that during
tho honey season, when the weather is op.
pressiveiy warm, bees, If their hives are in
contact, become restive ond less orderly il
their daily routine of labor than when
placed in position Of greater isolation
Another reason in favor of this summer
change, is mentioned by professionals It
tcnds to prevent the loss Of queens when
out on their annual excursions When
hives, having general resemblance to eat

stands, queens. in returning. home, cspcci.

these aud other rcusons not necessary to

TINS mitigating the heat IN the hives while
soothing the workers and diminishing the
chances OF losing lcrIliaed queens at Tho

the colonies to which they pertain.
