In the win- ter of 1889-90 I lined seven hives with as- bestos, and have had them in use ever since March 2-1, 1890. and can see no advantage whatever; and the disadvantage is that it partially prevents the rays of the sun from penetrating the hive, consequently the bees build up less rapidly in the spring. My bees are all wintered in the cellar. Possi- bly there might be an advantage in out- door wintering, but it must be borne in mind that one experiment, even conducted over a series of five years, does not decide it absolutely. O. B.
