Feeding Haa. Several bee-keepers say as below about feeding bees: I never feed my bee in the winter time, and anybody who does will not have any in the spring. That is where the great mis take of most people lie. They dis turb their bee and make them gorge themselves; they oannot discharge the excrement; dysentery follows, and they soon die. Wc scarcely ever teed our bees. We watch closely in the tall of the year, and see that every colony is sufficient ly supplied, with honey before winter. If we find that any oolony is not suffi ciently supplied, we supply the defici ency from those which have surplus. Wt simply take tho full oombs of honey from the colostec that have too mncb and give them to those which have not enough, equalizing the quantity a nearly ae possiblu. 1 seldom or never feed the bee, ex cept they lack store to carry them through the winter.
