This fact is often forgotten by many hee- keepers, who seem to imagine that bees in colcl countries should winter just as well as in tropical or sub-trojiical areas. This' can never be the case'. Yet by carefully analysing the harmful influences in cold districts, and by improving the methods of protection, one may hope for appreci- a1)ly better results, than the average re- sults obtainable with the usual unscien tific methods.
