Wintering By Josh Lindsey

How to survive the winter Healthy colony Food stores Moisture Heat Reduce size of the entrance Norman Gary varinagardens.com

Healthy Colony Strong population Good queen Gmo-journal.com Indianahoney.com

Food Stores 30 – 50 pounds 5 – 8 pounds per deep frame prbka.co.uk

Reduce Entrance Size Reduces airflow Keeps mice out of the hive Beesomebody.wordpress.com

Moisture Can be worse than low temperatures Warm moist air rises, hits inner cover, condenses and drips on bees Ventilation Imageshack.us

Heat 43° – 46° F inside the cluster 55° for active flight Flickr.com

Wrap Hive stays warmer Less food needs to be consumed Bees may be motivated to leave the hive too soon Photobucket.com
