Hey Bee Folks,
I have a small 2 frame observtion hive that I am hoping to use for an outside display tomorrow (the 13th). It's been a bit cool, though, and I'm concerned about the stress/survival of any brood that I put in the hive. I would like to put the frames in the observation hive in the late morning (around 11:00) and take them out in the afternoon. Will this harm the brood? Could I use a small electric heater behind the hive to supplement heat? I'd appreciate any info anybody has on this. Thanks!
