(Experhnental Farms Note) We take good care to provide food and protection for ourselves and our livestock in winter but too often the bees, which need them just as much for their survival and comfort, are neglected. Thousands of colonies dio every winter and nmny more are badly weakened for want of timely care in the fall. Every colony saved will produce, at a low estimate, ten dollars' worth of honey the next year, if well managed. Three things need special attention isa preparing bees for winter: Protec- tion, Strength and Stores. Protection. The beekeeper should decide early whether he will winter his bees outside or in a cellar. Rough- ly speaking in British Colunthia; Southern Ontario and, the Annapolis Valley, N.S., outside wintering is ad-, visable, For 1118 rest of Canada, use a well insulated cellar, deep in well drained ground. Much, however, de- pends on whether one has a good cellar or a yard well sheltered from wind for outside wintering:. Bees have been wintered outside success- fully as far north as Haileybury, Ont. and at Lethbridge Alta, The cellar should he fairly dry, with a steady temperature not exceeding 50 degrees nor less than 40 degrees. For outside wintering place the hive in a case with packing between. For packing use planer shavitigs or well dried leaves, moss, etc. Cases may be made to take one, two, or four hives each. There should he 2tia to 4 inches of packing at the sides and beneath and a cushion on top 6 to 8 inches thick. Cases in which the floor section is separate and .has sides extending above . the entrance holes say labour in pack- ing. In the Jour colony ease the 414e sections may be hooked together. Have the eases made -111 tine to pack the hives at the middle of September. On the Pacific coast where the win- ters are mild and damp the side and bottom packingshould be omitted and the roof should be well ventilat- „„..4 Strength and Young Q1.10011/1, Unite alt Weak 'colonies in September sn that each hive will contain enougk bees to cover at least the equivalent Of 5 Langstroth frames; enough bees to crowd on ten :Nines is better. See that each colony iti(s a young fertile queen, if' possible not later than the end of ,Tuly, so that many young bees will be raised in August Stores, A sufficient supply of whole- some stores is most important.

Where it is likely the honey is decidedly unwholesome or will granulate .hard in the combs in winter at least half of the stores Should be sugar syrup. If necessary remove outside combs of honey and place empty combs in the middle of the hive, The following stores have been found unwholesome: honey gathered in certain marshy places in the Maritime Provinces, from aster near Lake Erie, in klanitoba when there is a short crop in a dry sum - num, dandelion honey And honey con. tabling honey dew -or fruit juice. The best honey is that from alsike and white clover. Honey Hom al- falfa and from sweet clover is in. dined to granulate torr hard in cold regions.
