I use chaff-hives with dust cushion over the DOOLITTLE. We put straw mats on all our hives, and fill the top with dry leaves.—Da- DANT & Son. I have given but little thought on win- tering bees, as we have no cold weather here.—Mrs. Jennie Atchley. Absorbents over and directly around the brood-nest. Outside protection against cold, searching winds.—J. M. Hambaugh. Keep the entrance wide open always, and fill the surplus chamber with some substance that retains the heat of the hive.—M. Mahin. _A double-walled chaff-hive is now de- sirable. Such an one as Mr. Manum, or Mr. M. H. Hunt, or Mr. Geo. E. Hilton uses, is surely best.—J. H. Larrabee. In my latitude, hives need no special packing for out-door wintering. All that is necessary, is to keep the tops of the frames covered with a quilt, with a bee-space under it.—J. P. H. Brown. We winter all of our bees out-of-doors. We use a quadruple hive, lined inside with half-inch boards, 1}4 inch space between the outside of the hive and the inside lining ; space filed in with chaflf; sealed covers, and 6 inches of straw over the bees.—E. France. I think a number of dead-air spaces are the best. A good chafif-packed hive is all right. A thin outside packing- case is much better than a thick one, to prevent dampness.—H. D. Cutting. It would require a long article to give my ideas on this sub
