32 BEE-KEEPING IN WAR-TIME 



September. — All supers should be extracted and the shallow 

 combs given to the bees to clean down, after which they 

 should be cleaned and stored away in a dry place, protected 

 from wax moth, ready for use again next year. 



October. — The bees should now be prepared for winter. 

 Those with insufficient food should be fed rapidly. Wrap 

 down warmly and open the entrances to about five inches. 

 Faulty roofs should have a couple of coats of paint. 



November. — The bees should now be snug for the winter 

 and should not be molested at all. Finish cleaning appliances 

 and storing them for the next season. 



December. — The bees are at rest, so the beekeeper can do 

 likewise.
