Two tubes pierced with holes at their lower end serve for air, and light is excluded. With the use of this "cloisterf' the bees are confined in a way that keeps them quiet, for they see no light and the rays of the sun do not attract them to the field. But this implement must be used sparingly, for should a warm day come, the bees would become restless in spite of the darkness and the' con- finement would be more injurious to them than freedom. Mr. Gouttefangeas claims for this invention a number of advan- tages, as it permits him to confine the bees without danger whenever there is chance of their being lost by sallying forth.
