Greetings ZEEBEE;
I use a Screened Bottom Board on my hive. Its elevated on legs about 6" above the ground. Last summer/fall, I removed the pull-out sticky board, leaving the screen open. During the past winter, I inserted the pull-out board and enclosed the opening under hive w/ a skirt, creating a dead-air space.
Have found some interesting things when inspecting the pull-out board!
