THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



407 



they are able to fly in spring-, there is 

 pollen to gather. 



One great difficult with successful 

 wintering- of bees here in the North, 

 seems to be the excess of nitrogenous 

 food in the honey. It overloads the in- 

 testines and brings on dysentery. The 

 use of sugar has so often proved al- 

 most a specific for this difficulty, that 

 it seems as though it might almost be 

 accepted as a fact that the feeding of 

 sugar in the fall will prevent dysen- 



tery. Unless the stores are honey 

 dew, or something of that character, I 

 doubt the advisability of removing any 

 natural stores, but, where there are 

 wintering troubles, I most earnestly 

 urge the trial of feeding each colony 

 ten pounds of sugar after the close of 

 the breeding season. This will be 

 stored where it will be most likely to 

 be used during the period of confine- 

 ment, while the bees will not be left 

 wholly without nitrogeneous food.
