! Everv winter we are asked by be
! sinners in the bee business to tea
them what is the matter with their
bees. They frequently find a good
iany 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 littered with their
bodies. He stated that none of their
supplies had been removed last Fall.

will s?ize one of her dead sisters by
wing or leg, drag the burden out
through the entrance and, if possible,
fly several yards away from the hive
before dropping her load. Others
seem content to push the dead bees
through the entrance and let them
drop to the ground where they some
times accumulate in such numbers as
to lead the inexperienced bee man to
believe he is losing his colonies.
The bee keeper who has carried his
colonies through a number of winters
notes with a good deal of satisfaction
the brisk activity of the bees in get
ting rid of the useless litter, but any
hive which, after a spell of warm
w eather, does not show indications of
house cleaning, is at once an object
of suspicion and the owner takes the
first opportunity to find out why the
bees are not taking advantage of
their opportunities. Sometimes a
rap on the side of the hive will be re
warded by the appearance of a few
bees at the entrance, or it may bring
only a sleepy buzz in protest against
the disturbance. Lifting the hive for
the purpose of forming an estimate
of food conditions may convey the
information that grim starvation is
lurking in the hive, in which case the
bees have little ambition to engage
in labor which they know only too
well will be useless and for which
days, possibly weeks, of short ra
tions have reduced strength and vi-J
tality to a point where manual labor
is impossible. In case a shortage of
stores is indicated, if the owner is
to save the colony he must take ad
vantage of the first warm day to open
the hive and give the bees one or
more frames of sealed honey, or, in
the absence of honey, give them a
supply of pure sugar syrup, (2 pints
of granulated sugar to 1 pint of wa
ter) in a suitable feeder.
It may be that because of stores of
poor quality, such as honey-dew,
which the bees sometimes gather in

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.

Many new beekeepers are underj from confinement and are having a
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. It is
a fact that the young bees, those
which were hatched so late that they
had nothing to do with bringing in
the last of the stores, will usually
holiday. Given a supply of food of
good quality, the dysentery will prob
ably disappear, but for the colony
which is queenless in Winter nothing
can be done except to wait for the
coming of settled warm weather
when the remnant of the colony may
be united with another hive, or, if
