WINTER BEE DISEASE.

How 40 Manage Colonies Which May
BE Afflicted with 1t.
One of the causes of dysentery, as the
winter bee disease is usually termed, is
disturbing them in cold weather. In
fact, it is often the case that disturbing
them in very cold weather is the most
disastrous thing that could be done,
as it causes dysentery to appear among
the bees in its worst form. For this
reason no one should be allowed to go
among the hives in very cold weather
any more than is strictly necessary to
properly look after them. Nor should
stock be allowed to run among them
during the winter for fear of disturbing
them.
The disease may also appear when
the bees are closely confined for a long
time, or when they are compelled to live
upon impure honey. Many good bee
keepers claim that honey from cider
mills, decayed fruit and honey dew is
not healthy food.
If the winter is an open one, so that
the bees. can fly out often, they viii live
on this kind of honey without injury.
But If the weather is so cold and stormy
that the bees are kept closely confined,
the poor food tells, and dysentery is al.
most certain to make its appearance
among them; and colony badly afflict-
ed will often be hard to cure
One of the best things that can be
done-in fact about the only thing that
will be of any benefits to give them
a purifying flight. Let them have a
chance for flight the first bright warm
day that comes.
Feeding candy is, to some extent
beneficial. But the best and safect
plan is to prevent Give good winter
food, good sealed honey. That gathered
during the first of the season is always
best. Bees will bear confinement on
good honey and keep healthy much
longer than on bad It is easier to pre-.
vent the disease by supply ing healthy
conditions than to cure after the dis,
ease once makes its appearance.-St

In the making of plans for a wind

to make 1t practicable. Fig. / portrays

cross beams, nine posts eight feet long
and double doors at each end seven feet
wide; comfortable space is left to pass
between two wagons side by side. A
post set in the ground at center or
where doors meet should be about eight
or ten inches high, with groove at both
sides to receive the end of board placed
directly under the edge of door, which

A groove also across the top of said post
receives the door lock. A rope fastened
to upper door frame and also to beam
will keep the door from swinging too
far back, so as not to damage hinges;

inches from the ground in case of
snow.
Now procure straight stick or log
