regard to the care of bees for wintering,
the following b selected:
A number Of apiarists say that they
pay no attention to the spot occupied by
the bees when removed, and that when
they take them out in the spring it does
not matter much whore they are placed,
whether on the exact spot they occupied
before winter or in the place of one an
other. Once or twice we had consider
able trouble from changing the location
OF hives. and have positively ascertain
ed that many Of the bees remember
their former location, after three months

The time of removal of the bees in
the spring Is Of utmost Importance to
consider. If they are taken out too
early, they may not have occasion to
fly much, and their power Of endurance
during late cold seems to have been
taken away from them by their pro-
longed stay in the cellar. They are very
much like horse that is kept in q
warm barn. He Is more apt to be fret
full Of the cold and to suffer than one
that stays all winter in q cold stable.
Yet our sympathies are all in the direc-
ton of the softer treatment. With the
bees there was on our part, as in the
fall, a tendency to be too much afraid
Of long confinement. I believe it was
DR.. Miller who said the best time to re-
move the bees from the cellar was in
March or April, at the opening of the
first buds Of soft maple bloom. This is
very good criterion.
But, above all things, warm day
must be selected to remove the bees
from their confinement. If you take
them out on cold day, their anxious
desire to take fight will induce them
to venture when the temperature is too
low for their safety, and many Of them
will perish. IF the day is warm and
