Winter Care of Bees.
Have a thermometer in the cellar and
try to kup the temperature between
40 and 50 degrees. Visit the cellar oc-
casionally TO ascertain II the bees are
quiet. If they seem uneasy at times,
little more ventilation will probably
quiet their. Allow as little noise and
light as POSSIBLE. Bees consume con
siderable less honey when wlntcred In
the cellar than when out OF doors 9th
/ er things being equal The dead bees
should be swept up and carried from
I the cellar occasionally and everything
kept swee, and clean. so as not to have
any foul air in the apartment. In early
. spring when the weather begins to
/ warm up the bees will no doubt show
signs Of r, stleSsncss. They should not.
. however be set out too early. About
the time OF soft maple bloom Is right IN
most localities. TO keep the tempera-
ture low aud the bees quiet II will he
! necessary u open the windows at night
and keep them closed i'm the daytime.
