Weather.—Up to about a fortnight ago the weather this winter, from the bee-keeper's point of view, had been in no sense "wintry," but as we write the whole kingdom is frost-bound, after severe snowstorms, and our morn- ing papers come out with special articles headed " The Severe ; In the reliable Weather Report of the Standard we read of a temperature as low as 14 deg.

It has been declared by some to be too small, and by others too large— which should be some testimony to the value of a frame that comes midway between the extremes ; but be this as it may. it is certain that as a rule the com- plaints come from earnest, and no doubt well-meaning,
