AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS WHEN TO REMOVE BEES. Bees which have been wintered in a cellar should be very carefully watch- ed dur(ng the month of March, for in this section March is about the most severe month of the year upon bees. 1t ‘the colonies in the cellar do not roar and {f there is no pronounced tendency for them tu leave the hives, then .they are apparently in the best possible condition, and they should be left perfectly turbed at least un- 11'the oft maple is in fuul bloom. If, however, there is roaring within the hites and many bees leave the hives and ;try to fly about the room, and sspeclally if there is any . spotting sabout the entrances or fronts of the hives, then these are indications that imething is not right, and the bees would b better off out of doors on the summer stands. £It" {5 usually best to remove bees Mot “the cellar after dark at night with the least possible jarring of the hives, and they \'lfluhl be placed where they+ are to remain for the summer.

At the end of the season the tops should be allowed to die down to make a covering for holding snow.
