Warm weather expected in Ohio: open hive?

[Carriage House Farm]

There is a place, just south of Columbus, that will have medium nucs in the spring.  Not too sure if that is close to you or not.  He's in Lancaster, OH.

Save your stuff and you can REALLY be prepped and raring to go for spring and summer.

Sorry about your bees.

I just prop up the lid with some shims.  I don't like holes in my equipment.
