AMERICAN BEK JOURNAL. 



57 



have had as many as 40 stings in one 

 day, and would not fee) any worse ; if 

 any difference, I would feel better in a 

 few minutes. I have handled bees for 

 seven years, and have met with but two 

 cross colonies that I would call m-oss ; 

 they reminded me of yellow jackewmore 

 than anything else. 



I attend to my neighbors' bees, who 

 have them in soap and cracker boxes. 

 Some of them have a few dovetailed or 

 Simplicity hives. I notice that the bees 

 in soap and cracker boxes winter just 

 as well as those in good hives. They let 

 them stay out in the orchard all winter. 

 One man wintered a colony in a potato 

 basket last winter; I transferred it to a 

 good hive, but it had wintered in fine 

 condition. I leave my bees on the sum- 

 mer stands all winter, as I think that 

 they do as well there as in the cellar.
