AND ENDS loney crop in Canada ecsnty this year. So say the statistics, and the wet weather is blamed for it. It was a lighter crop here, in my experience. but the cause was just the opposite.

In my opin- ion the only wey to winter been. is outeide. In years past l have been brought into contact with farmers (both in the northern and southern areas of the Island) who have sought to winter them in the rel- lar, and failed. The cellar may be too wann or too moist: it may have mice, which excite the bees and cause them to consume their stores: and the grading and bagging of Produce will have the same disturb- ng effect. There is a great revival in bee-keeping in the Province just now and this hint may save e. good deal of disappointment Ilives on benches.
