Bee Keepers May Double 
Output 
[The following note is taken from a re¬ 
port by the Pennsylvania Board of Agri¬ 
culture. Our bee experts say this ad¬ 
vice is excellent.] 
One of them says he knows of some 
men w T ho make sure their bees have 
enough, then feed them 10 lbs. more; it 
is usually the very best colonies that 
starve, as a good queen will keep the 
brood chamber so filled with brood that 
there is not room to hold the necessary 
Winter stores. Where it is possible he 
likes to have each colony packed by it¬ 
self as it causes so much labor to pack 
and unpack. Packing is left on perma¬ 
nently, except on top, after once getting 
it in place. 
“Before the bees stop gathering nectar 
in the Fall, each hive should be examined 
to see if sufficient stores are present for 
the Winter. If the examination shows 
the stores insufficient, the bees should be 
fed at once. The best feed is granulated 
sugar syrup. This syrup may be made by 
using two parts sugar and one part water 
by measure. The sugar should be poured 
into the water to facilitate dissolving and 
the syrup should not be boiled. If burnt 
or scorched, it is worthless for Winter 
stores because it causes dysentery and 
other bee diseases. Just before cold 
weather comes on, the bees should be 
given Winter protection. Winter packing 
cases are most practical where beekeepers 
do not have sufficient bees to warrant the 
expense of building a cellar. The quad¬ 
ruple case is found to be cheapest. In 
this case, four hives are placed together 
so that there are six inches of insulation 
beneath the hives as well as in front and 
on the sides. There should be at least 
a foot of covering over the top. The 
packing material may consist of any fine 
dry substance such as finely cut straw, 
chaff, buckwheat hulls or broken forest 
leaves. Care should be exercised to see 
that the entrance to each hive is open to 
the out-doors by means of a small tunnel. 
“It is too often overlooked that proper 
feeding and housing of bees during the 
Winter insures strong Spring develop¬ 
ment regardless of climatic conditions 
If the .Spring is such that the bees can 
start gathering nectar early, the stores 
remaining from the Winter will not he 
molested, while if the Spring is delayed, 
they will be able to develop even though 
thev cannot gather nectar from the 
fields.” 
Vinegar From Cider 
In regard to making vinegar from pre¬ 
served cider, I would like to tell experi¬ 
ence I have had regarding vinegar, I sug¬ 
gest drawing cider very carefully off the 
sediment,, and put into barrel that never 
has had preserved cider in it, and then 
put in some “mother.” No cider ever 
will make vinegar under any conditions 
if allowed to stand on its own pomace. I 
never have had any experience with pre¬ 
served cider but I know that eider never 
will make good vinegar if allowed to 
stand on its own pomace, and that part 
of my statement I vouch for. I think re¬ 
garding the article as to putting “mother” 
in the preserved cider if cider had been 
put in another barrel, as I have made 
mention, the effort would have been more 
satisfactory. MBS. E. B. v.
