ABSOLUTELY,
I have repeatedly pointed out that climatic conditions govern the management
of colonies by modifying the housing to suit the contentment of bees .
Nothing is poured in concrete as a general application is concerned.
Experimentation applies to anyone concerning local idiosyncrasies. Openings
in hives are oftentimes managed by the bees in shutting or opening them with
propolis.
