Title: Keeping a nuc overwinter in a greenhouse
Post by: contactme_11 on September 30, 2008, 03:59:02 PM
Has anyone ever tried to keep bees overwinter in a greenhouse? I have one nuc with a very small population at this point but the queen was just starting to work like crazy. It seems a shame to allow the hive to die from the cold before they really get the chance.  :(

I've read on here that bees and greenhouses don't do well together something about the bees flying up toward the light and dying, but I could be wrong just what I remember reading.
