quilting boxes

I posted before that I was making quilting boxes. I've just put them on and they are indeed working like I expected, but now I have a new concern and that is this: am I actually starving the hive of moisture that they might need in order to get water during the winter? I am just across the lake...

We are famous in the Pacific Northwest for our rainy winters. Last year I scraped mountains of dead, soggy bees out of my hives. So this year I'm trying quilting boxes for the first time. We'll see... Paul M http://oldmontgomerysfarm.com http://openwoodshop.com http://paddleandoar.com
