YOUR BEES IN WINTER

By G. S. GRECO, Bee Expert Of the
Portland Seed Company.
Every winter we are asked by be-
ginnerS in the bee business to tell
them what is the matter with their
bees. They frequently find a good
many dead bees scattered over the
surface of the snow, or on the ground
in front of the hive, and Immediately
jump to the conclusion that some
thing is wrong. A short time ago a
man came hurrying up to the store
demanding a half-dozen good feeders
as the bees were dying in the hive
and the yard was Uttered with their
bodies. He stated that none of theiI
supplies had been removed last Fall
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1921-02-17

also that the hives were very heavy,
buff they were not starving why
did they die?
Many new b~eekeepers are under
the impression that all the bees in the
hive when cold weather comes on
should be alive and well in the
Spring but this is not the case. 1t is
a fact that the young bees, those
which were Matched so late that they
had nothing to do with bringing in
the last Of the stores, will usually
winter through, and it is upon these
bees that the work Of starting brood
rearing the next Spring will deolve,
but there will also start the Winter
a great many bees hatched during the
latter part Of the season which will
die Of old age during the season
when the bees are confined closely
to the hive.
These old bees will crawl from the
cluster, or drop on the bottom Of the
hive, and on the first warm day the
vigorous workers Of the colony will

consequence when the first blossoms
appear the colony will have a large
number of workers ready to go to the
field and bring in the new pollen nee
eSSary to the welfare Of the young
brood, and it is almost invariably the
colony which gets a strong and early
start that later in the season brings
in the big crop of honey.
Don't disturb the bees in any way
during the winter or early Spring
months unless you have good reason
to believe they are starving and will
be lost if not given food.
Don't attempt to unite, transfer or
move colonies before the fruit trees
are in full bloom. Too early manip-
ulation Of the bees may lose for you
all the advantages sucured through
successful wintering and the colonies
weaken and dwindle away just at the
time when they should otherwise be
building up ready for the harvest.

CHAPTER v.
Doctor John Has a Visitor.


After remaining hidden in the for
est for some time. Tonnibel stole
along toward Ithaca in the gathering
gloom, her heart filed with hope. To
get some medicine for Edith, and to
take back the picture to the father
who had offered money for it, were
the two things she wanted to do now.
Her young mind was busy with plans
for her mother. If she could find some
work to do, and Edith would 60 with
her, she would get we'll again.
That evening, just after dinner. DR..
John Pendlehaven was sitting in his
Office. his mind disturbed, his heart
aching for the sick brother upstairs,
and he remembered that the first three
or four years after the disappearance
of Paul's daughter had been spent in
q frantic search. All those working
on the case had finally decided that
Edith Mindil, young nurse who had
cared for the child most Of the time
since her mother had died and was de-
voted to her. had left home with the
baby.

there came to him from the wide front

The voice was filed with touching
pathos, and the young face had grown
suddenly grave.
I'm one Doctor Pendlehaven," he
said. "Won't you sit DOWN."
Tonnibel shook her head. She
couldn't sit down in all this royal
splendor, she who had been used to
canal boats and rough benches to sit
on.
