Your Bees In Winter By G. 8. Crego. Bee Expert for 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 to the store de manding a half-dozen good feedets, 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, also that the hives were very heavy, but, if they were not starving why did they die? Many new beekeepers are under i he Impression that all the bees in the hive w’hen 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 noth ing to do with bringing in the last of the stores, usually winter through, and it is upon these bees that the work of starting brood rearing the next spring will devolve, but there will also start the winter a great many bees hatched during the lattei part of the season which will die of old age during the season when the bees ate confined 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 set to work to “clean house” with all the vim and bustle of the human housewife. While they are unable to take broom and mop to remove the accumulated debris, their methods are fully as effective. Each work er will seize one of her dead sisters by wing or leg, drag the burden out through the entrance and if possible fly several rods away from the hive before dropping her load. Others seem content to push the dead bee through the entrance and let them drop to the ground where they some times accumulate in such numeers as to lead the inexperienced bee nian to believe he is losing his colonies. The bee keeper has carried his col- onies through a number of winters notes with a good deal of satisfaction the brisk activities of the bees in get ting rid of the useless litter, but any hive which, after a spell of warm weather, 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 opportunieies. Sometimes a rap on the side of the hive will be rewarded 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 in formation 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 rations have reduced strength and vitality to a point where manual labor is impossi ble. In case a shortage of stores is indicated, if the owner is to save the colony he must take advantage 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 NEIL & BARKER CO.
