Winterlng Bees

As winter is approaching and as / have
had some experience IN wintering bees
in this country I venture a word of ad.
vice to those who have not. l am aware
there is diversity Of opinion among
apiaiiaps on this subject aud many con.
Trajectory methods have been held to
the public, aud there is no doubt that
bees have been successfully wintered in
each Of these methods. Yet it is as diff.
f1cult to lay down any one rule that will
suit all climates, winter and condition of
stocks as it is TO make one boot that will
fit. every mans foot.
l have wintered bees in various ways
and the following method is the one l
would suggest for the novice.
II your bees are IN u common beehive
aud on blocks, as such hives are usually
placed in the summer seasons, take out
the blocks and the hives, set down on
the bench,-it is o all close except the
entrcance, -ifthere is no mortice or p
ture in the top Of your hive it is time you
was making one this you can do with a
sharp bit, "a is small enough, bore two
holes close together and cut Out between
with a knife, two such mortices through
the lid Of each hive-more if you chose /;
in boring through the lid of the hive just
as the bit is going through bear light On
it or it will break the comb. Now take
"a III and bore a hole above the entreance
one third of the way to the top of the
hive, now draw a 2 or 3 thickness of
WOODEN cloth over the oritice in the lid
and tack them with small ta~cks-place
a small box Oh top Of the hive,i it is better
if the box is filled with straw or WOODEN
rags or any substance of a like nature. If
the box is Air tight bore a few small holes
in 1.-THE object of the box on top is to
let the impure gass escape without Great
ii a current of cold air through the hive,
put some hay on it or cane grass, shelter
IL hs muCn rs you can WITHOUT covering
the face of the hive, place a weight of any
kind on it to prevent the wind blowing
1t of, aud yeur hive is prepared to stand
the hardest winter. Perhaps you will

themselves about them. Another cause
of failure is experimenting before they
understand the nature Of bees. Man is
an experimenting gcnious and has been
ever since Adams experience in horticul-
ture. IL it strange that any experiment
should be a failure where the experiment
ter knows but little about the business.
Let me say III conclusion, that | have
written this article for the benefit Of those
who wish to keep a few stocks for their
own use such men are not often practi-
cally Apiarians- and l would advise you
never to winter them in any building
atove the surface, or in a cellar that his
much vegetables in it. Better leave them
on their summer stand until you are bet
ter acquainted with their nature. The
above method of wintering bees will be
a success in any Kind Of hive.
