Would a longer telescoping cover help that issue. I thing water is a major cause of winter/ early spring loss. Chilled bees and brood. Think how you feel when your feet feel when wet in winter.

I'm dealing with the same issue. The suggestions ive received is something is making them that way. I'm thinking of borrowing a trail cam and watching them overnight. Possum, skunk, raccoon may be...
