hello all
i hope to get lots of replies to this every beekeeper should have at least two answers
how many bees and how much honey will a colony need to get through winter[/b] (and whater else you can think of)
a good wind block an upper enterane/hole for condesation if lower gets blocked snow dead bees
a strong colony will need around 90 lbs of honey left on and possibly early spring feeding
some people wrap with different things some dont wrap at all
and don if your reading this maybe you can send out an email to the club with your thoughts
i know you are busy but we all miss your informative emails
happy beekeeping all
