How do you guy's & gal's winter your bees in colder climates.
Better to have a gun and not need it
Than need one and don't have it

I winter mine with an insulated box made of 1 1/2" thermax insulation placed over the top of the hive.
This is my second winter running this system. Looks good so far but we have not had our usual temperature extreams here this winter in Minnesota.

Good luck to everyone wintering there bees.

My you all have a Joyfull holiday.
