    Re: Winter loss question

    I used all of these ideas. Slid hives together, foam between hives, foam under o/c, upper and lower entrances. And wrapped with tar paper. Removed the tar paper too early, got several days of rain,...

    I'd call Bee Culture when you get a chance. They had a bunch of them at EAS for sale. They may not have them out for distribution yet.

    I bought it at EAS from the Bee Culture...
