When the warm weather comes in the spring I draw the nails with a claw- hammer and stack the boards and posts away in a protected place. I have used the boards I now have for five winters, and they are yet "just as good as new ". I attribute a good deal of my good success in wintering to this wind- break. A. J. KiLGORE. Wood Co., Ohio, Nov. 3. Wintering Bees—Porter Bee-Escape On page SOS, our genial critic, Mr. Hasty, takes notice of the length of time my bees were in the cellar (165 days), as reported on page 446. It may be of interest to bee-keepers, in this connection, to know that they were wintered almost entirely on sugar syrup. The preceding year there was no honey-flow after Aug. 1. By the first of September some of the most populous colonies were entirely desti- tute of stores. They were fed an aver- age of 20 pounds of sugar per colony. In the spring I had to feed 5 pounds more per colony. This was barely enough to bring them to the early flow from dandelions, willows, and later on white clover. Nine of my 10 colonies wintered per- fectly ; the other one was weak in bees and continued to dwiudle, even losing its queen. Later on I gave it In Close Touch With The Whole World.
