THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



ing the cellar is one of the cheapest ways of 

 keeping it warm. 



If you have only a very few bees in the 

 cellar, it is not so important to have the cel- 

 lar just right. A few bees will winter all 

 right in a cellar wiiere they might die if 

 there were ten times as many. Perhaps it 

 may be because the air is more pure. 



I know there are some that say bees do not 

 require ventilation, but you may set it down 

 that anything that breathes requires air, and 

 bees breathe all winter long. And on that 

 account I am very sure that warming up a 

 cellar sometimes does good, even when the 

 bees are plenty warm. 1 once helped my 

 bees when they were warm enough by put- 

 ting fire in the cellar. I'll tell you how it 

 was. It was toward spring, and one of those 

 continued warm spells came when the tem- 

 perature out doors went up to 50° and the 

 cellar was the same. The bees became very 

 uneasy. I started a fire in the stove and run 

 the cellar up to 70° or more. .Just at first it 

 didn't seem to do any good — made them 

 noisier, if anything. By the next morning, 

 however, when the thermometer had gone 

 down again to .50°, the bees were nice and 

 quiet. I think the explanation was that 

 heating of the air had set up a current, the 

 air was changed, and with more pure air the 

 bees were all right. 



I have often noticed the same effect in a 

 little different way. In a warm spell in the 

 spring, when the bees became uneasy in the 

 cellar I would at niirht open wide all doors 

 and windows. How the bees would roar. 

 At first it fairly frightened me to find them 

 so noisy and crawling all over the hives, but 

 by the next morning they would be quiet and 

 nice, so that the sun might shine into the 

 cellar without disturbing them. 



With plenty of good food, plenty of bees, 

 plenty of good air, and not too far from the 

 right temperature, there should not be an 

 over amount of anxiety about bees in winter 

 quarters,

The names of my customers, and of those ask 

 ing for sample copies, have been saved and writ- 

 ten in a book. There are several thousand all 

 arranged alphabetically (in the largest States) . 

 and, although this list has been secured at an ex- 

 pense of hundreds of dollars, I would furnish it 

 to my advertisers at $2.(X) per thousand names. 

 A manufacturer who wishes for a list of the 

 names of bee-keepers in his own state only, or, 

 possibly, in the adjoining states, can be accom- 

 modated. Any inquiry in regard to the number 

 of names in a certain state, or states, will be an- 

 swered cheerfully. The former price was $2.50 

 per 1000, but I now have a type writer, and, by 

 using the manifold process, I can furnish them 

 at $2.00. W. Z. HUTC;HINS0N, Flint, Mich
