Greeting to all ya all. Im a seasoned beekeeper with my start about 1964 I worked with a commercial beekeeper for 2 summers, kept bees while going to college, and then kept bees as a sideline till retired a few years ago. Now I try to keep myself busy with bees which I find is pretty easy.
It was pretty easy to keep bees alive when I first got started but now Im find it very hard. So I will be searching your post to find ideas that will be helpful in my operation.
Thanks for letting my join

Hi Jay
Well I am sure that when you ask if I use more than tar paper on my house, you mean on my beehives. Well here in western oregon we place black plastic over our hives. I use strapes to keep it in place but alot use laths and nail it in place. Back when I was working for the commercial beekeeper we didnt use anything for wrapping and all went well and he had great hives in the spring. Things have changed.
I was speaking of your home. tar paper and plastic is not enough!
ergo bees need more too
but what would I know new bee in south Florida
this is meant to get others to think. many have. I like that
good luck with all your hives
I just have two slowing for winter no flow come december
Jay, I've seen lots of houses with only tar paper for insulation and I'm in cold Michigan! You just need a bigger heater. :-D
