Farm and I Garden WINTERING BEES. Packing Colonics In Straw In an Open Storm Shad. ai nit uke aioe 01 me Dee building at the Montana experiment station and running the length of It la a room with a dirt floor fitted up with two skeleton shelves of 2 by 4 so that some forty or fifty colonies of bees may be <v!d * ed under as nearly normal conditions as possible, with the entrances connected with the outside, permitting the bees to fly at will. Above these rooms In the gable roof la ample storage room for empty blvee and for surplus combs wben not In use for the houey harvest.

The experiments during the last two years were not only modified by the indoor wintering with packing only above the colonies, bat also by packing colonies In straw in an open shed against the side of the house. (See the accompanying figures.) Outdoor wintering is usually accomplished In chaff hives, and one great objection la the expenslvenesa of thes4 hives. Otherwise, since It Is the most norninl condition for bees, this method Is to be recommended for Inexperl euced beekeepers. The feature of these chaff hives Is a double wall with from three to eight Inches of space between the walls on all sides, including the bottom, filled with some nonconductor of heat like straw, chaff, paper or ground cork. The effect of this packing is to retain the heat and at the same time permit the moisture produced by the bees to pass off. To further permit moisture to escape the oil or carriage cloth quilt used in summer is removed and a canvas quilt placed over the frames. Above this newspapers, a piece of old quilting or a chaff tray nir.j be used to retain the beat. Then above this material to retain the heat there should be an open space with free ventilation, accomplished by auger holes through the ga ble ends of the roof.- The roof and whole hive should be thoroughly painted and the hive placed several inches off the ground to prevent freezing and thawing and the attendant soaking np of water.

It is asserts that tenors are usually of Blende build, whereas basses are stoat, bu there are too many exceptions to sue a rale for it to be reliable.
