J. P. H. BROWN, 



until late — did not get any swarms until the 

 last of June. 



In May I ordered one colony and a half 

 from another bee-keeper, malting three and 

 one-half colonies that I really started the 

 season with. From the time they com- 

 menced to swarm they did quite well. I let 

 them swarm naturally, and at the end of 

 the season 1 had taken 335 pounds of sur- 

 plus comb honey, and had increased to 17 

 colonies. One colony which lost its queen, 

 and one late swarm, both went into the 

 cellar rather weak, but the rest were in 

 good condition. I should have tried to 

 build up tbe weak ones, but I had so much 

 else to do in the fall that 1 could not see 

 to it. 



My bee-cellar is built by first digging in 

 the ground about 4 feet, then a wall of logs 

 hewn on the inside is built inside of the ex- 

 cavation to the height of B feet, and over 

 this is a tight board roof, }4 pitch. Outside 

 of this wall, at the distance of 3 feet, is 

 another wall of round logs, built up from 

 the surface of the ground to the level of 

 the inner wall. Over this is a good shingle 

 roof, with space between roofs of 3 feet, 

 which is packed solid with damp marsh- 

 moss, which, when dried, is like a sponge — 

 swells and fills everything snug. There are 

 two doors in front, one opening out, and 

 the other one inside, with the space be- 

 tween of 3 feet ot dead air. In the roof 

 there is one 6-inch ventilator, which can be 

 closed entirely it needed. 1 can stow away 

 100 colonies very easily, and last winter 

 the temperature only varied 6 degrees all 

 winter, with only two colonies, and so far 

 this winter there has been a fall ot 2 de- 

 grees. We have winters here where the 

 thermometer registers between 40 and 60 

 degrees below zero, and 1 think something 

 similar to such a cellar as I have for win- 

 tering is a necessity. 



If my bees don't all die this winter. I may 

 write again how they come from cellar. I 

 have been using the yframe dovetail hive, 

 but I may change to the 10- frame next sea- 

 son, although I am quite satisfied with re- 

 sults so far from the S-frame hive.
