err.. search archives,, my name & heat

In short,, 12V 50W peanut bulb, run on 5 or 6V,, 12.5 or 16W
enclose in Al envelope of offset metal or 1/2" Cu tube
$20 thermostat from ebay or amazon,
powered by old PS, previous version, with switch on 1' cord
dip pins (on bulb)in flux repeatedly to solder/tin

Great for weak nucs, set at 32
As I said, now set at -5

the heater is central or under cluster
That is, when in pipe, in divided feeder,
the feeder divides the hive into 2 nucs
