In warm weather when there 14 little or-. no honey to be got from nowers, bees w1ll eailly yield to __ aily temp- tation to -obtain It by ·any means that presents Itself. After more or less !lght!ng, robber bees wlll over- power a very weak col.ony, especial- ly those that are qUeenless; and will carry the hl)lley to thelr own hives. Robbing may be started by the care- l~ness of the . beekeeper during manlpulttlon, particularly when re· moving the honey or ieed!ng. To prevent robbing, the Dominion Ap· larlst gives the following advice-do not open hives more than necessary towards the end or after the now. If necessary tO open hives, cover all exposed supers with robber cloths or sacks to prevent robbing. Pro- tect and streiitrthen all weak colo- olea. If there Ia any tendency to rob, reduce all entrances. IOny colony that Is In danger of being robbed lhould be moved to the cellar for a few days. See that the honey house Is bee proof and keep the door closed at all times. If any · colonies have to be examined, do It In the evening or under a bee tent. Carelessness In these respects wlll likely resu~ln general robbing be- Ing started and much trouble and possible loss of colonies may be caused. Replace all old and unpro. liflc queens during the latter part of the clover !low to ensure strong colonies of young bees for the winter.
