THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL.

get a few pointers on cellar-wintering of bees. 

 This is the sore question. I am pleased with 

 his advice on the sweet clover question ; it 

 does well here, grows immensely, blooms so 

 long, and the bees seem to be on it all of the 

 time. It is well to have the yellow and the 

 white; the yellow will be in bloom 2 weeks 

 earlier here than the white. 



Asother little wrinUle I tried for warmth 

 iu spring and fall, was to make an oil-cloth 

 • Take factory cotton (0 cents a yard) large 

 enough to cover the hives all oyer, less a few 

 inches at the entrance. Heat the boiled lin- 

 seed oil and with a paint-brush put it on the 

 cloth. When dry, put it on the hive, tie with 

 a piece of twine, and put a stone on top, to 

 keep the cover on. Indeed, I keep it on all 

 summer; no driving rain reached the combs 

 or bees. Robert McCradie.
