Spring Management of Bees.
To seeme nmximum honey crop,
it is necessary for the bee -keeper to
have all his colonies up to maximum
strength in tiyakor the main flow of
honey. This can only be accomplish-
ed by -careful management during the
spring. •
Bees that have been wintered inside
should be taloen from the cellar at
the time the willows begin blooming.
To reduce drifting, a dull day should
be chosen for bellying them out. All
entrances should be 'reduced to about
ono inch; these ean be enlarged as
the season advances,
In same mute of Canada where the
spring is long and oeld the bees will
need protection when fleet eilaced out-
side. In -any place they should be
protected against cold winds by the
use of windbreaks.
• As seen as the weather permits all
colonies should be examined for stores
and queen. Each coleny should have
frometen to fifteen pounds of stores.
• Colonies wibh less -oan he helped from
those having a rplus. Before
equalizing Stone, however, be certain
that -American foul brood is not
present. H no colony has a surplus
and the beekeeper has no combs of
honey saved from bast year's crop,
the bees muse be given a thick sugar
syrup. If the bees have been well
holised end well suppleed with stores
in the fall, feeding and equalizing of
eberes will be unnecessary in the
spring.
Water, is essential to the bees for
brood rearing, If there is no water
near the uphill, it is ativanbageous to
provide a watering place ie se,me eleel-
tered place in the speary. Running
water is best. ,
Ale weak and queenless coloniee
ehould be united. One good strong
colony is worth in -any w-eak ones. Do
net unite two weak -colonies but unite
theeveak to theecelonies of medium
strength. Weak ecieonies having a
queen oan be united to eerong, queen -
less eolonies.
Brood thould not be taken from
steeng end given to weaker, colonies
boo early in the spring bub thee can
be clone later in the season &ter' the
hives are well filled with bees. Spread-
ing brood es not advisable as et may
result in a lot oe chilled brood,
Cotentee wintered °aside are all
the better H kept in their cases until
the first super is well filled with bees.
Hives in which the bees have died
Should have ale • the entrances ciesed

+other bees from robbing them.
Clipping the queen's vvings lee ad-
vantageous in the control of swarm -
Mg end et is nevieable to clip the
queen's wings at the beginning of the
fine honey floev,
As the season advences and blie
