The only inconvenience is that the bees are unable to keep the bottom of the hive clean and it must be cleaned occasionally. A second entrance at the bottom might be put in, and open- ed occasionally. For the winter it might be better to close the top one and leave the lower one open to avoid loss of heat.—Revue Internationale.
