.INSULATE HIVES
FOR WINTER USE
Loss of Heat Through Bottom Is
Very Rapid, Notwithstand-
ing Belief to Contrary.
DEFECT SHOULD Be REMEOIED
Leaving South Front Unpacked on
Theory That Sun Will Furnish
Necessary Warmth Erroneous
Sawdust Not Expensive.

Prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Contrary to the usual belief of bee
keepers, the loss Of heat through the
bottom of beehives otherwise insulat-
ed Is very rapid, so that the insulation
on the top and sides Is never used
to its full capacity, as so much of
the heat escapes below. On the sup
position that "heat rises," it has been
the practice for beekeepers not to
lnsulate the bottoms of hives in which
bees are wintered. This Is serious
neglect which should b. remedied in
all commercial insulated hives, ac-
cording to ULited States Department
of Agriculture circular 222, The In
sulating Value Of Commercial Double
Walled Beehives. by R. F. Phillips,
apiculturist.
Tests have been made of the In
sulating value of eight different
types Of hives. 1t is clear from the
results Of these tests that leaving
any part Of the hive without insula-
tion renders the escape Of heat at
that point easy. Some beekeepers, In
addition to leaving the bottoms of
their hives unprotected, also leave the
fronts, facing the south, unpacked, on
the erroneous theory that the warm
ing of the hive by the sun will over
come the loss Of heat at this point.
The insulating value of all ordinary
insulating materials depends on the
! n{,s l,> tD1
and the insulating value is increased
by Increasing the number and decreas-
ing the size Of these air spaces. In
