Influence of Temperature in Wintering Bees.

Wintering Bees in a "Clamp.' 



knoll, where the water will never stand, the successful wintering of the 

 bees is almost assured. In heav_v clay, the loss of the bees is equally 

 certain. I say this from numerous experiments. Bees in a clamp, in 

 the right kind of soil, in a good condition, winter as well as in a cellar; 

 sometimes it seems as though they winter better, and the only possible 

 objections to this method are the labor and untidiness.
