 frames (sometimes i ; Melt the old combs into 

 wax, is it? Old oombs are best, sometimes. 

 Ah, law! Mr. Ail<in (page 119); the brood

Don't be too hard on Dr. Gallup, Experi-

Hard Winter on Bees. 



This winter has been a pretty hard one on 

 bees, compared with former winters. 



December was unusually cold, and the 

 ground was kept covered with snow. Only 

 on the first and last days of that month had 

 the bees a (light, and on Dec. 4, 2.5 and 2(i the 

 mercury went down 2 degrees below zero. 



.January proved to be somewhat better; the 

 snow gradually melted away, and mv bees 

 had a flight on .Jan. 1. 3, 6, 15, 16, 2.5 and 31. 

 We had but two zero days — Jan. 11 and 12. 



February was the meanest month so far. 

 Bees flew on Feb. 1, and celebrated Washing- 

 ton's birthday in fine order, as all dutiful and
