>> Hi all

I remember Ed. He came to a Vermont meeting and talked about
thermo-regulation of the honeybee colony. Below are some of his
published papers. One I can't find shows how moving the main entrance
location up or down in the hive (auger holes and corks) he could get the
center of the brood rearing cluster to move up or down accordingly.
