. Gleanings in bee culture . ing. The bees (14) fanning at the entranceare the A^entilators of the hive and ripeners In (7) laying-worker and drone-layingcolonies as well as queenless colonies thereis a certain amount of apathy towards workas contrasted with normal colonies. Nor-mal colonies have their guards, ventilators, incoming and outgoing bees, etc., perform-ing their tasks regularly but in 6 and7 we see little groups of bees idlingaway their time, as it were, and the gen-eral inactivity of such colonies is at oncenoticeable. Unusually agitated or excited bees, withno other apparent reason for such condition, may be attributed to the (8) mating of avirgin queen, to the process of (9) feeding, and to the (10) balling of a queen. Fromthe time that a virgin queen leaves a colonyuntil a short time after she returns, thereis usually an undue amount of agitationabout the entrance; soon after bees are fedthere is a decided investigative turn ofmind at the entrance; and in 10, ifwe do not see a knot of bees at the en-. Expelling from and hindering the entrance ofdrones into the hive after a honey flow. 226 GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE April, 1922 of hone3^ A study of their activities willsoon show how much ventilation and ripen-ing are taking place. During honey flowsthese two processes go hand in hand, andin the evenings, this evaporation practice, indicated by the roar of the bees, is an ex-cellent indication, to one who is familiarwith this phenomenon, of the amount of sur-plus stored during the day. Bees fanningin very hot weather, and when there is usu-ally no honey flow, should never be molested.A normal colony can maintain a cooler tem-perature within than that which exists with-out the hive, but if either smoked oropened during such a hot spell, it may neverbe able to regain the necessary colony tem-perature which prevents the burr and bracecombs in the upper story from melting.Melt-downs originate in just this manner.The phenomenon of (15) clustering outsidethe hive
