As the season will soon be at hand for the bees in winter repositories to begin to arouse t h e m - ^. ^ selves and be- 1 "\ come uneasy, I ^^ ] wish to tell the readers of the Re- view hoA^ easy it is to keep the bees quiet until quite late in the season; or as long as they ought to remain in win- ter quarters.
