preuared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Bees may be successfully wintered
out of doors If the apiary is well pro-
tected from wind and the hives are
properly packed with insulating ma
terial to retain the heat generated by
the bees. A grove Of trees. an adjacent
hill or nearby fence can be made to
serve as satisfactory windbreak. The
hacking, which should usually be done
during October in the north Central
states, should completely surround the
hive, including the bottom, but the
bees entrance should remain open,
though reduced in size. Cork chips,
sawdust, fine shavings, dry leaves,
chaff. and similar material should be
used and packed tightly In box built
about the hive, allowing from SIX to
eight inches space for the insulation.
Amount Of Packing.
For a climate such as that OF Wash
ington, D. c., it is found desirable to
provide four inches Of packing under
meath. six inches on the sides.and eight
or more inches on top. In warmer cil-
mates less will be needed, but the bee
keeper must not think that simply be-
cause he lives south Of Washington ne
can be safe with less packing or none
at all, according to the bulletin. The
amount indicated for Washington has
been used with success in places as
cold as northern Ohio or even in Can
ada, but in these places the insulation
during the coolest seasons Is usually
augmented by heavy SHOWS. These are
not at hand every winter or may be
lacking during the coldest part of the

winter, and it is, therefore, wise to pro-
vide more packing, especially on the
sides and top. For climate such as
that Of New York or Wisconsin eight
inches Of good packing on the sides
and one foot on the top probably will
be enough for good wintering every
year.
Type Of Packing Case.
There is no virtue in any special type
Of packing case to surround the hive,
but In all types there are few points
which must be observed. There must
be provision for abundant packing on
the top, bottom and sides, the entrances
must be small, the case must be rain
proof, and the construction Of the case
should be such that it may be taken
apart and put together easily. The
parts Of various cases used in one Sc
ries of apiaries should be interchange
able
