Bee Notes for March.


This is the most irving month for
bee-keeping as ordinarily conducted.
Bees iI!s. having Been so long confined to
winter quarters, are now very sensi-
tive to the least jar. In these north
ern latitudes leave them entirely un-
disturbed. Up the date bees have
left their hives and fallen upon the
floor of the room much less than US
ual.
notice that some advise evergreen
for shade, but l consider them object
ionable. There are times when l
deem the direct rays of the sun upon
the hives to be inva ia Q. 1t would
be better to use trees that are not COW
cred with leaves in early spring, or
late in the fall. In my experience,
even a shade tree of this kind, taking
its effect as a whole, is detrimental
rather than otherwise, except when
the hives are shaded only during the
middle of the day, Having given
the matter much attention, l think
good roofs are preferable. These
may be removed at any time, and
thus give the hive the full benefit Of
the SUMS rays when desired.
The Gardeners .Nonthly amongoth,

it is the severe thawings following

no matter how hardy, will be benefit
