Excerpt from The British Bee Journal, Vol. 5: And Bee-Keeper's AdviserDead white Bus - Stocks that from an cause have been induced to breed largely will as a rule be in considerable danger should even a short season of cold weather set in, for it not only then becomes necessary for the bees to crowd together for warmth, often to the neglect of their brood, but they speedily become aware that their expenditure of food is great, while the incoming is nil, and therefore the ¿at goes forth to slay the young unhatched bees, that they may not grow to be consumers at a time when labour and ingathering are impossible. A sharp snap of cold weather, a frosty night in May, for instance, such as cuts off the cottager's scarlet - runners and blights his potato prospects, will often cause the brood near the edges of combs to be chilled to death, and in such case the bees will throw it out next day, and little harm will have occurred beyond, but when the white bees are thrown out through lack of income, much mischief will already have arisen, as prior to their appearance the eggs and young larvae will have been consumed, and all the labour of feeding and nursing attendant thereon will have been wasted. Such a check to hives' prosperity should be guarded against and prevented.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
