THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



fies their strug-gle. The water pro- 

 duced by the honey is thrown off in 

 vapor, because the cluster is warm. 

 If the hive is thin, or the bees small in 

 numbers, and, in consequence, distant 

 from the sides, or if the top protection 

 is scanty, the heated vapor is imme- 

 diately deposited as dew, and the inte- 

 rior is wetted. "When the sides are so 

 non-conductive that the inner faces are 

 not below the dew point of the interior 

 air, the hive remains dry; and since 

 wood conducts more freely than cork- 

 dust, the inner lining- should be as thin 

 as notions of streng-fh will allow. In 

 gentle top ventilation, the heat of the 

 cluster just beneath the roof keeps the 

 part in contact with the bees both 

 warm and free from damp, and the air 

 passes off carrying- the moisture with 

 it. The combs below are not mil- 

 dewed, nor do they rnn with dew. If 

 dampness appears at all, it is behind 

 the runners, beneath the ear, where 

 the temperature coinmonly falls to the 

 lowest point; this, however, causes 

 neither damage nor inconvenience.
