I would let them remain just as they are.—Emerson T. Abbott. I would leave the combs as the bees have them.—Mrs. Jennie Atchley. Of late, I leave them in winter the same as in summer.—Eugene Secor. I would let the frames remain the same as in summer.—J. P. H. Brown. I would leave them as in summer. It is the natural way, and saves work.—A. J. Cook, We let the frames remain in winter the same as they were in the summer.— —E. France. After trying both ways, for years, I see no advantage in spreading frames for winter.—G. M. Doolittle. Here is an idea I had never thought of—and I believe it to be a good one. I can see no objection.—Will M. Barnum. I have used both methods, and have as good results to leave them in winter the same as in summer.—H. D. Cutting. We leave the frames as they are in summer. Our frames are IJ^ inches apart, from center to center.—Dadant & Son. I would let the frames remain just as they are in summer. It is questionable if anything is gained by changing the number of franies in a hive from sum- mer to winter. If more space is allowed between frames in winter, the frames must be returned to their natural posi- tion early in spring to prevent loss of brood and brace-combs.^C. H. Dibbebn. I have tried spreading the frames, but I do not think it necessary, especially in cellar wintering ; out-of-doors it might be of some advantage.—S. I. Freeborn, I use a 10-frame Langstroth hive. In winter I remove one frame, spacing the nine frames evenly
