I]ig;liC!!it Cellar Temperature in 



Winter and Not Cause the 



t^ueen to Liay. 



Query 983.— Wbat is the highest point I 

 can keep the thermometer steadily throug"h- 

 outthe winter inthe cellar without danger of 

 setting the queen to laying?— Mich. 



E. France — I don't know. 



B. Taylor — I do not know. 

 Jas. A. Stoue — I do not knoA'. 

 Rev. M. Mahin — I do not know. 

 Mrs. L. Harrison — At about 40^. 

 Chas. Dadant &, Son — 40^ to 45-. 



C. H. Dibbern — Not much above 45-, 

 Fahr. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— I think I've read 

 about 50'^. 



W. G. Larrabee — 1 never wintered 

 bees in the cellar. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — I should keep 

 about 40-'^ or 45^. 



J. M. Harabaugh — I have never experi- 

 mented along that line. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater — J don't know, but 

 45^ is a good temperature. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — They seldom breed 

 with the thermometer at 45^, Fahr. 



J. E. Pond — As I have never wintered 

 bees in a cellar, I know nothing of the 

 matter. 



J. A. Green— I have not had enough 

 experiencd in cellar-wintering to answer 

 definitely. 



P. H. Elwood — That depends largely 

 upon the construction and ventilation of 

 your hives. 



R. L. Taylor — I don't know that the 

 laying of the queen depends on that. 

 Keep it at 42^* to 45-^. 



G. M. Doolittle — I aim at a tempera- 

 ture of 45-, and consider that the best 

 temperature for cellar-wintering. 



Eugene Secor — 453 j^ about right. If 

 the queen does begin to lay the latter 

 part of March, 1 think it is all right. 



Wm. M. Barn urn — I have never yet 

 wintered a colony in the cellar or other 

 repository ; but should say about 45-, 

 ITahr. 



W. R. Graham— I will have to give Dr. 

 Miller's answer — "I don't know" — as I 

 live in the South, and have no experi- 

 euce in that line. 



Rev. E. T. Abbott — I do not know. I 

 just let Old Probabilities regulate the 

 weather, and leave my bees out in it 

 with plenty of food of the rl{jhi kind in 

 the rhjht place. 



G. W. Deraaree — I reall,v don't know. 

 But in ordinary winters in Kentucky, 

 the queens begin to lay (sparingly) in 

 January, and will show some brood 

 through February, March, etc. 



H. D. Cutting — In a damp cellar, 45-, 

 I always prefer to have them begin in 

 the cellar. With a cross of Syrians and 

 Italiaus I have had M complement of 

 brood when bees were put out about 

 April 1 to 8. 



Allen Pringle— In the case of que_ens 

 which have passed one winter, say 55^ 



to 60^. In the case of queens reared 

 the latter part of the season, which have 

 not passed a winter, 45^ is as high as 

 would be safe. In the first case, when 

 wintering on sugar syrup with very liitle 

 pollen in the hive, the temperature may 

 be 10^ to 15^ higher, and the same in 

 the second case.
