FEEDING BEES IN WINTER.
Sugar Strip Recommended When
Honey Store Is insufficient.


No one should attempt to winter a
hive Of bees which is poorly supplied
with honey. Such colony needs to
be either fed or brimstoned. Only
good heavy colonies should be win.
tered. One can tell whether a hive
has sufficient stores for winter by test
ing the weight II the hive lifts like
box of bricks it has enough stores
but If it lifts easily. like an empty box
then it has insufficient honey to carry
the bees through a severe winter
writes Allen Latham in the Farmer.
1t is not difficult to feed colony for
winter. Dissolve seven pints of gran
ulated sugar in about four pints of
hot water. Pour the gallon of strip
resulting into four quart jars and
invert these in shallow saucers, prefer
ably shallow tins. like the covers Of
lard pals. Place them just at dusk
either over the frames of the hive or
about the entrance. Insert small nails
under the edges of the jars to allow
air to enter as the strip is licked up.
II the night is cold throw two or three
sacks over the jars to hold the heat
and encourage the bees to carry the
strip into the hive. Stir the bees up
before throwing the sacks over the
jars. This feed can be given at any
time till such cold weather sets In
that the bees will not take care of it.
The amount suggested is enough to
take bees into early April.
All hives that have enough stores
can be protected for winter in the fol-
lowing simple manner: Select as many
large bran sacks as there are hives
Open the bottom of each sack so that
the two ends are alike. Have ready
dry leaves, laths, small nails and ham
mer. Draw sack down over a hive
as you would draw q stocking over
your foot. Before starting in place a
small block over the entrance to keep
the bees in while the work is being
done. Fasten the edge of the sack
along the bottom of the hive with a
piece of lath secured by two nails.
Let the sack come quite to the bottom
at the sides and the back of the hive.
but In front turn it up so the entrance
will be left unobstructed. Now push
leaves in between hive and sack, fill
ing first at each corner, so that sack
is free from hive on all sides. Pack
in the leaves firmly all round and
above the hive till the sack is nearly
full. Then with some long nails or
with strings gather the upper edges Of
the sack so that the leaves will not
spring out.
AS the hive now is rain will wet the
leaves and make the protection worse
than useless. Some waterproof mate
rial must be laid over all. A square
of tar paper laid over and then COW
cred with another sack is good. This
upper sack should have its corners
pinned down with wire nails.
1t takes but half an hour to get a
hive ready for winter In this manner,
and the labor will be well paid for.
Thus prepared the colonies will winter
splendidly in even severe winters and
will build up rapidly in the spring to
furnish early swarms or supers of
honey. This protection can be taken
off in early May and made into a bon
fire, the sacks being saved for smoker
fuel-fuel of the very best sort to
make clean white smoke.

In spite of the statement so often
made that there will be a serious over
production of apples II the planting of
new orchards continues at the present
rate there seems to be slight ground
for apprehension In view Of the sta
tistics Of apple production for the past
fourteen years. This cry Of overpro-
duction was raised as long ago as the
fifties and sixties, but the dire prophe-
cy has never materialized. In spite of
the rapid increase Of population there
has been a marked decrease in apple
production during the past fourteen
years, doubtless largely due to inroads
of insects and fungous pests, exhaust
ed soils, unfavorable climatic condi-
lions and general carelessness and neg
