Bees Wintered Well 



Bees in the cellar are perfectly quiet. They 

 had no midwinter flight.

Heavy Rains and Washouts 



The rain is pouring down, and has been 

 doing so almost constantly for a week. There 

 have been a good many washouts. We are 

 expecting a good season, but I thinl£ bees 

 will be scarce, as I have seen many apiaries 

 where they are all gone. J. Holt.

Do Bees Freeze or Starve? 



I think I have demonstrated, the present 

 wiDter, that bees do not freeze to death. I 

 had one colony in a Danzenbaker hive, very 

 light, probably containing less than a pint of 

 bees, and not expecting them to winter, I did 

 not pack them on the summer stand. But 

 disliking to see anything starve I gave them a 

 well-filled frame of honey, from a strong 

 colony. And they appear to have wintered 

 as well as strong colonies well packed for 

 wintering on summer stands. So I conclude 

 that if this little bunch of bees could survive 

 the zero weather we have had this winter, 

 they do not freeze. 



This agrees with the experience I had over 

 50 years ago, when I wintered bees under a 

 shed facing east, without any further protec-
