Cold Cellar for Bees in AVinter 

 —What to Do Willi It. 



Query 970.— My cellar sometimes runs 

 down to freezing. 1. What Is best to do? 2. 

 If flres are kept In the cellar, at what temper- 

 ature are they unnecessary ?— Wisconsin. 



Mrs. L, Harrison — 1. Warm it. 2. 

 40-'. 



E. France — I don't know. I winter 

 all out-doors. 



Wm. M. Barnum — If it is dry, let it 

 and the bees alone. 



B.Taylor — 1. Make your cellar warm- 

 er. 2, 38° and upward. 



W. G, Larrabee — I have had no ex- 

 perience with cellar-wintering. 



Prof, A. J. Cook — Just keep a slight 

 coal fire so as to keep it to 45°, Fahr. 



Mrs. J, N. Heater — 45° above is a 

 good temperature to keep your cellar. 



Dr, C. C. Miller — 1. Put in a hard coal 

 fire. 2. When the cellar stays above 

 40- without fire. 



J. E. Pond — I never wintered bees ex- 

 cept on the summer stands, so I have no 

 experience in the matter. 



Kev. M. Mahin — My little experience 

 with bees in the cellar does not warrant 

 the expression of an opinion. 



J, P. H. Brown— In my climate we 

 winter bees out-of-doors; but I would 

 say, keep your cellar at about 45°, 



G. M. Doolittle — For the most perfect 

 wintering the temperature of the cellar 

 should be kept between 40° and 45-. 



Rev. Emerson T. Abbott — I do not 

 know anything about cellar-wintering. 

 Bees do not need a flre. They do not 

 freeze, they starve. 



J. A. Green — 1. I have had little ex- 

 perience with fires in bee-cellars. 2. If 

 I were to have any, I would not want 

 the temperature to go below 45°. 



H. D. Cutting— When it goes to 36° I 

 light a lamp in the cellar and bring it 

 up to 3S° I prefer 38° to 40° in a dry 

 cellar; 40° to 45- in a damp celUr. 



R. L. Taylor — 1. Bank up your cellar 

 so as to keep out the cold better. 2. I 

 should let the temperature run down to 

 35°, Fahr., for short periods of time 

 rather than resort to flres. 



Eugene Secor — A cellar that freezes 

 is a bad place for bees unless it is very 

 dry. 1. I would try to keep it from 

 freezing, and if necessary use artificial 

 warmth. 2. At 40-' or above. 



Chas. Dadant&Son — If you put plenty 

 of bees in your cellar they will keep up 

 the heat. The temperature that winters 

 the bees best is 4U to 45°. Better have 

 it a little cold at times than too warm. 



C. H. Dibbern— Better fix the cellar so 

 it will be warmer. Fires should only be 

 resorted to when the freezing point is 

 reached, and the temperature should not 

 be raised much over 45°. The fire 

 should not be allowed to light up the 

 cellar much, or many bees will fly and 

 get lost. 



Jas. A. Stone — 1. There must be an 

 air-hole that lets the warm air ascend — 

 if so, stop it. 2. Any where above freez- 



ing. I have a neighbor who has a 

 double wall to his cellar — and still it 

 freezes, and he wondered how it hap- 

 pened. He' has a tire-place in it, with 

 open chimney. As nature will have it, 

 the warm air ascends and the cold air 

 descends, consequently the result. 



P. H. Elwood — Keep fire if you will 

 attend to it, and do not let the cellar get- 

 either too hot or too cold. You will find 

 it close work. The temperature depends 

 something on how freely your hives are 

 ventilated. With top ventilation the 

 temperature can go a little higher. Give 

 them a temperature at which they will 

 keep quiet. 



G. W. Demarree — My experiments 

 published in the Bee Journal some years 

 ago, showed that to heat up the apart- 

 ment in which the bees are kept in the 

 winter, for six or eight hours, once a 

 week, will restore the bees to healthy 

 condition if there is provided thorough 

 " upward ventilation " to each hive, dur- 

 ing the time the h^ating-up process is 

 going on.
