No Spotting.
(8) Before removal from the cell
lar there should be no spotting of the
hives from dysentery. There may be
little spotting after the bees have
had a free flight outside, but If this
is small In amount 1t does not indi-
cate a serious condition.
(9) When the bees are taken from
the cellar there should be no moldy
combs, for the cellar at the right tenn
perature will be too dry for the growth
of molds.
(10) There should be no brood when
the colonies are taken from the cellar.
Brood-rearing in the cellar is proof
that the cellar is too cold or that the
food used by the bees is inferior.
(11) Enough brood should be in each
colony at the opening of the main
honey-fiow to I'LL completely IL Lang
stroth frames.
(12) The population of the hive
should not decrease appreciably after
the bees are removed from the cellar.
Such a condition, known as spring
dwindling is an indication of poor win
tering. For three weeks after the
hives are set out no new bees will be
emerging, but the loss of bees during
the time should be so small as not to
be noticeable.

In case an excess of grain is accu-

readjust quickly is to draw the litter,

Another thing TO guard against is
the waste through feeding very small
