I put IliH hives in the end of the car. tiering them up with pieces of scantling between them, tilling the rest of the car with buggy, cutter, household goods, etc. The weather was cool, as there was snow .still on the ground, though at that time of year it woukl not be'* very ; The bees were in the car four days.
