Trembles for Outdoop Bees. 



It is 15 degrees below zero here this morn- 

 ing, and now at 11 a. m., though the sun is 

 shining brightly, not up to zero yet. We 

 have been, and are, having the most severe win-

 with excelsior, and the bees will do the rest. 



I also make bottom-boards as follows : Get 

 lumber full width if you can, it not make 

 them of two pieces; cut them 24 inches long. 

 Now rip a common lath in two strips, and nail 

 the strips on the bottom-board for the hive to 

 rest on. Nail two solid strips under the hot-
