THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



Office of State Entomologist, 

 Corvallis, Oregon 



I would favor a universal "Honey

 t'f the different Associations get the 

 railroads and hotels to feature the day 

 in an appropriate way. 



H. F. WILSON. 



The Pearce method of "Let 

 Alone" beekeeping is another in-

 is receiving from it's readers. Such 

 support as tliis is what makes a 

 good bee journal, and we take this 

 opportunity to thank the many 

 friends for those favors.

Humidity In The Wintering of Bees 



By K. F. PHELLIPS, Ph. 1). In Cluu-oe of Bee Cultuie Investigations 



Washington, D. C 



Cjiven at the National Convention in St. Lonis, February 1914 



In the various discussions of the 

 wintering of bees frequent men- 

 tion is made of the causes and ef- 

 fects of moisture in the hives and 

 in bee cellars and this has induced 

 considerable speculation on the sub- 



ject. In spite of this discussion, 

 the inter-relationship of temperature 

 and humidity is manifestly not 

 clear to the majority of beekeepers 

 and it may not tlierefore be inap- 

 propriate to attempt to explain such
