Above are links to a product that I read about on the University of Minnesota website. They use this above their inner covers as a means to absorb moisture and let it out of the hive. This has me intrigued. It reminds me quite a bit of the quilts warre and some lang keepers use, but it looks much easier to deal with. My thought right now is about my new poly nucs. I have a topic in the equipment forum about poly nucs I am making. There is this trade off with poly nucs and no upper entrance of a possible venting issue. Is this something that will get you the best of both worlds? Put this above the nuc and you poly roof over it. Moisture becomes less of a problem and you still get the benefit of all the insulation. One of course could use these on wood hives as they suggest in the u of m handout I was reading. Thoughts?
if it's what i think it is it breaks pretty easily.
This product is no longer affordably available in my area. I use soundboard as a substitute. It does break if you are not careful.
That sound board is nasty stuff to work with.. Makes more fine dust than anything I've ever cut before.
