Just wondering if there are reasons that this wouldn't work.
I know that some people in cold climates winter their bees in cellars or heavily insulated, well-ventilated buildings. And I know that bees often take up residence inside buildings (inside walls or attics) and apparently thrive there.
So would it be possible to keep several hives in a specially constructed (as weather proof and bear resistant as possible) building year round, with bee exits in the walls? Has anybody done this or heard of anyone doing this? Surely it's been tried before, somewhere, somehow, someday...
