Mont Clair, N. J., March 6, 1881.
=Why Did They Die?=—Last fall I put my bees into a dry
cellar; some of them had 75 lbs. of honey, and in 4 or 5
weeks there were many dead bees. I cleaned them up but in a
few weeks more they all died; what was the cause of this?
Over 80 per cent. of all the bees in this vicinity are dead.
