The weather here has been anywhere from 28 degrees to 15 degrees.
A near by tree farm has called me several times last year to get a hives out of their baby owl boxes(8" x 10" x 14") - well I got a call last week for another hive in the owl boxes, fortunately they let me bring the owl box home until weather improves and I can re-hive them into a standard hive. I brought the hive inside my house(everything is closed up so they can't get out) and they have really come to life.
Did I make a mistake by bringing them into the house?? I wanted them warmer so they would have a better chance of survival, the box is heavy so they propable have plenty of stores.
I would really like to put them into a standard hive right now so they would have room to expand and grow, hopefully they would get a early start for spring, any suggestions on what to do here??
