At this season of the year attention

WINTER LOSS OF BEES
Among Known Causes Of Damage Are
Lack Of Numbers, Insufficient
Food, pampness, Lack Of Air
and Low Temperature.

CBy FRANCIS JAEGER, University Farm
b. Paull
The winter losses Of bees are great
every year. Beekeepers can reduce
these losses by preparing their bees
for winter and giving them good win
ter quarters.
The chief known causes for winter
losses are queenlessness, lack Of num-
bers In colonies, insufficient food, poor
food, dampness, lack of air. the break
ing Of clusters, and low tempera-
lures.
A queeniess colony win certainly die
In few months.
II the number Of bees In q colony Ii
small, the cluster cannot generate
enough heat or keep the heat It gen
crates and the bees freeze. In the
fall small colonies should be united
into one big colony.
Bees must eat In the winter in order
to generate heat. They must have
about 40 pounds Of honey when
they 60 into winter quarters. II they
are short, they should be supplied
early with finished frames or fed
sugar strip. Dark mot amber) honey
10 poor food for bees to winter on. ALI
black honey should be removed and
combs Of white honey should be In
serted.
Dampness In O cellar causes the
combs and frames and the hive walls
and cover to get wet and moldy, and
the bees perish from wet cold. Bees
need fresh air. Foul air will cause
excitement, and the bees will scatter
and die. Excitement among bees In
winter is fatal.
The present style Of Hoffman frame
divides the bee cluster In winter into
IL spaces, and the bees are unable
to pass from one space to the other.
When the bee cluster contracts during
the winter, those left on the outside
frames die. Some beekeepers per-
forate their frames for the easy pass
age of bees from one compartment to
another. II kept in warm place they
can pass over or around the frames. In
long-continued and severe cold the
bees may not be able to move along
the frame and they will sometimes die
Of hunger within an inch Of the honey
supply.
Bees should be kept in a cellar at
temperature Of about % degrees.
Very strong colonies, however. will
survive almost any degree Of cold.
