Ventilation or Protection in Winter. 



Query loi. — Is ventilation or protection neces- 

 sary in winter? If so, give one or more meth- 

 ods. — Ux.'iH. 



E. France — Yes, both. A proper answer 

 would be too long for this department. 



P. H. Elwood — The cellar seems to be 

 necessary in this Mohawk valley (N. Y). 



Dr. C. C. Miller— Both necessary, but it 

 would take all this page to give methods. 



G. M. Doolittle— A good sized entrance 

 for ventilation, and chaff hives for protec- 

 tion. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown— In my climate 

 (Georgia) no extra preparation is neces- 

 sary. 



S. T. Pettit— Yes, to both. Space is toe 

 limited to do Justice in these important 

 cases. 



A. h\ Brown— That depends whether you 

 live in Florida or Utah. Here in Florida it 

 is not needed. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — Not protection here in 

 California, and ventilation only at en- 

 trance anywhere. 



Eugene Secor- Yes, both, in my locality. 

 Entrances wide open in a sufficiently wariii. 

 well-ventilated cellar. 



E. Whitcomb — Protection is as necessary 

 to bees as to stock. 1. Cellar-wintering. 2. 

 Pack on summer stands. 



J. M. Hambaugh— Both. This depart- 

 ment will not give room to methods. Read 

 some good, standard bee-book. 



C H. Dibbern— Yes, sir, in this climate 

 (Illinois) it is, and in my opinion a good 

 cellar is the best and cheapest protection 

 of all. 



Mrs. L. Harrison— Yes, to both. Protect 

 from winds, and put some porous material 

 above the bees, with a chance for the 

 breath of bees to escape. 



W. G. Larrabee— Yes. I use a idouble- 

 walled hive packt with planer-shavings, 

 and a crate filled with shavings with cloth 

 bottom to cover all in winter. 



O. O. Poppleton— This is also a question 

 of locality. In loiva I preferred thoroly 

 well constructed chaft' hives, with good 

 windbreaks around the apiary. 



C. Davenport -It is in my locality. I 

 winter tiiy bees uuder ground, and usually 

 give them ventilation by means of a pipe 

 or tube running up thru the roof. 



Adrian Getaz -Protection is absolutely 

 necessary. So is ventilation. But this 

 should not interfere with the wartuth. A 

 good sized entrance gives all the ventila- 

 tion needed. 



Mrs. J M Null— Rather indefinite. Both 

 are desirable. Chaff hives answer adtuir- 

 ably for out-door wintering, or ordinary 

 hives protected on the same principle as 

 chaff hives. 



Rev. M. Mahin — This is a very large 

 question. Ventilation is certainly neces- 

 sary in winter in all cliuiates and condi- 

 tions. Tlte amount of protection in out-
