words it may be expressed thus : The brood sec- 

 tion is secured against the effects of sudden changes 

 in the weather (this keeps the bees dormant

 designed,) and provides for the absorption of all 

 moisture and perspiration arising from the bees, 

 while in a dormant state. These two points are the 

 foundation of successful wintering.
