XXVII NORTHSTAR, MICH HIGAN, OCTOBER 1, 1914 No. 10 Why I Winter in the Cellar By DAVID KUNXING, Filion, Mich, Presented at the Michigan State Convention, Detroit, December^ 1913. My reasons are as follows: First, My place is located in the northermost part of the thumb of Michigan. Lake Huron being only seven miles distant on the east and five miles to the north, while Sagi- naw Ba,y extends to the west and southwest. This means that we have piercing cold winds off the water and ice all winter, regardless of where it comes from excepting the south. Second, We some times have heavy falls of snow coming before the ground is frozen in the fall and remaining all winter. This keeps out door wintered bees in a damp condition, since the snow keeps melting from below regardless of how cold it is above the snow which is often three feet or more deep on the level. During the winter of 1903-1904 I lost 112 out of 144 colonies from tbis cause.
