BEES NEED AID
DURING WINTER
State Apiary Inspector Gives
Hints on Care.
*■ Despite a considerable slump in the
price of sugar—the only competitor of
honey*—beekeepers of Indiana should
look forward to the marketing of honey
in the future as a necessary food and
not as a luxury, in the opinion of C. O.
Tost, State apiary Inspector for the De
partment of Conservation.
Asa result of the unprecedented price
of sugar during the last year, thousands
of sugar users turned to honey as a
substitute and have since become perma
nent users of honey In preference to
nugar, Mr. Yost Says.
For this reason he believes the honey
market of the future is assured and bee
keepers have every prospect of disposing
of the product of their apiaries at advan
tageous prices.
In a letter to several thousand bee
keepers in Indiana, the State apiary in
spector calls attention to work neces
sary for the proper wintering of the col
onies, in order that the bees will emerge
next spring vigorous and healthy.
Meny features enter into successful
wintering, chief of which are: To have
a large number of young bees In the hive
in the fall, to be sure the colonies have
sufficient stores, protect the bees by good
windbreaks, provide plenty of room for
spring brood-rearing, and Insure protec-

tlon to colonies by properly packing th'i
hives with insulating material.
The prime object of packing is the
conservation of bee energy, bringing the
bees out in the spr.ng with as much j
energy and strength as far as possible 1
in the law of nature as was possessed
by them when they entered their winter
rest.
It is assumed all beekeepers under
stood quite well bees do not hibernate
or become dormant or frozen up like
some other of nature’s creatures. .
Instead they maintain a comfortable
temperature and remain active during
the coldest weather, unless the cold is
severe enough to overcome and freeze
them.
To do this they must generate heat
and the amount of heat generated de
pends upon the amount of cold entering
their hives and vicinity of the cluster;
also conditions of hive packing, en
trance, etc., which may afford an escape
for the warm air in the hive as well as
an entrance of the cold.
The generation of the heat within the
hive is brought about entirely by the
activities of the bees.
Hives should face the &st or south.
For protection from winds a good
hedge or shrubs will provide an ideal
condition.
Fodder also may be shocked and fas
tened to the fence on the west and
north sides. Avoid a solid windbreak,
and if the hives are placed before a
solid board fence, it is better to remove
every other paling.
Packing of the hives with insulating
material is put on after the first heavy
frost and four Inches of packing be
neath the hives, six inches on the sides
and eight inches on the top, has been
found to work admirably.
A good Insulating material is ground
cork, chaff, shavings or sawdust.
Between this packing and the bees

there may be placed a burlap sack or an
escape board (be sure to take out the
escape and cover tbe hole with wire to
allow moisture to escape into the
packing).
n cn’t use an oilcloth or tight board
cover.
Contract the entrance to one or two
Inches long and three-eights inch deep.

i The entrance should be left open,
j Quadruple cases if properly packed and

tain temperature of about 46 degrees,
; varying to 4!) degrees, or at a tempera
-1 ture where bees are most quiet, may
: also be used.
It is essential the cellars be dry.
It is absolutely essential the bees have
plenty of stores to go into the winter
with.
The feeding season is nearly past and
a look Into the colonies should not be
! delayed.
Recent investigations prove more bees
I need feeding than was anticipated a few
i weeks ago.
: The proper amount of stores Is about
thirty-five pounds per colony.
The store must be sufficient to carry
i the bees through until the honey flow
! actually starts in the spring.
I If there is insufficient honey store at
i the time of putting the bees into winter
| quarters, they should be fed sugar sirup
I made up at the rate of two parts of sugar
I to one of water, by measure.
I Enough of this sirup should be fed
|to bring up their stores to a normal
| amount.
