I had a couple of people ask me about this statement in the referenced  
article.  What this means is prior to 10 minutes this is a heating problem  to 
keep the brood at the 94F brood rearing temperature.  The bees do not  want 
the brood to overheat which is were Mike Hood's and my previous  research 
about beeswax is where the beeswax helps maintain this temperature (  the 
research / article that was not published) .  
 
After the 10 minute point it is a cooling problem were the bees have to  
maintain a 94F brood rearing temperature.  This means after 10 minutes ( I  
assume this article's research was done in the summer, not sure were though so 
 the 10 minute point may shift) the bees have to make sure the brood is 
covered  to maintain the 94F temperature.
