Realizing that a good paper devoted to the subject would be indispensable, I have se- lected the American Bee Journal as the most desirable. I now have about 50 colonies, which I am wintering in a cellar. My hives are of my own plan and make, as are my surplus cases. I have seen none I like better, and none quite so handy and convenient.

The object o£ the inch hole is to provide ventilation in case the bees should become uneasy aud fill the entrance with dead bees, as some times occurs.
