. The Bee-keepers' review. Bee culture. 376 THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW fies their strug-gle. The water pro- duced by the honey is thrown off in vapor, because the cluster is warm. If the hive is thin, or the bees small in numbers, and, in consequence, distant from the sides, or if the top protection is scanty, the heated vapor is imme- diately deposited as dew, and the inte- rior is wetted. "When the sides are so non-conductive that the inner faces are not below the dew point of the interior air, the hive remains dry; and since wood conducts more freely than cork- dust, the inner lining- should be as thin as notions of streng-fh will allow. In gentle top ventilation, the heat of the cluster just beneath the roof keeps the part in contact with the bees both warm and free from damp, and the air passes off carrying- the moisture with it. The combs below are not mil- dewed, nor do they rnn with dew. If dampness appears at all, it is behind the runners, beneath the ear, where the temperature coinmonly falls to the lowest point; this, however, causes neither damage nor inconvenience.
