Efl'ect or Cellar W^intcrlng on 

 tiic Bees vs. Outdoors. 



Query 46.— Are bees taken out of the cel- 

 lar in the sprini? any more tender than those 

 thai have been out all winter ?— Wis. 



J. A. Green— I think so. 



G. M. Doolittle— I think not. 



Jas. A. Stone — I don't think they are. 



A. P. Brown — I have no experience in 

 this. 



Eugene Secor— No, if properly win- 

 tered. 



Mrs. L. Harrison— I do not think that 

 they are. 



E. France — I don't know, as we win- 

 ter all outdoors. 



Dr. C. C. Miller — I'm afraid they are — 

 sometimes, at least. 



W. G. Larrabee — I have had no experi- 

 ence in cellar-wintering. 



J. M. Hambaugh — Some say they are, 

 though I never thought so. 



C. H. Dibbern — I don't know for sure, 

 but it has always seemed so to me. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — Not if wintered well. 

 They may be in far better condition. 



Chas. Dadaiit &■ Son — They seem to us 

 to be, until they have had two or three 

 good, cleansing flights. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — I cannot answer 

 from persoual experience, as in my 

 climate (Georgia) we winter out-of-doors. 



H. D. Cutting— I think not. Many 

 old bees die after placing out that would 

 have died during the winter if left out- 

 of-doors. 



P. H. Elwood— The bees that winter 

 the best are the tougnest, whether win- 

 tered indoors or out. It is the poorly 

 wintered bees that are tender, and 

 dwindle. 



R. L. Taylor— Are cows wintered in a 

 comfortable stable any more tender in 

 the spring than those that have past the 

 winter with the protection of a rail 

 fence only ? 



Emerson T. Abbott— No. Would a 

 man who had been out of the house only 

 once or twice during the winter be as 

 strong in the spring as one who workt 

 every day in the open air ? 



G. W. Demaree— Not if the weather is 

 warm enough so that the bees are not 

 subjected to sudden changes of tempera- 

 ture. But, really, I have but an experi- 

 mental knowledge of cellar-wintering. 



Rev. M. Mahin — I have no experience 

 in cellar-wintering, and in this climate 

 (Indiana) I do not think it advisable. 

 From what I have heard and read I am 

 quite sure that cellar-wintered bees are 

 more tender, and suffer more from spring 

 dwindling. 



.1. E. Pond — I have never kept bees 

 inside, that is, I have always wintered 

 them on the summer stands, but I see 

 no reason why there should be any dif- 

 ference in tenderness, whether kept out- 

 doors or inside; and, again, I cannot 

 imagine bow any one can judge accu- 

 rately in the matter. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater — Perhaps not, but 

 they are sure to have brood earlier, and 

 when placed out-of-doors will be tempted
