I'm not sure about the I-90 bit, but I don't believe the beetles are
wintering in Clinton county...northeast corner of New York state, and in
Franklin county, the northwest corner of Vermont. I can leave my full
supers in the hot room with no problems.
In fact, I know when a new beekeeper, close by to one of my apiaries,
has brought in packaged bees from the south. I never see beetles, and
when I do I look for the new beekeeper. Took me awhile last summer to
find the apiary located right between my Martin yard and my Brigham
yard. 15 colonies started from packages and moved in from Connecticut.
They all died in the winter and the yard wasn't re-stocked. Broke my heart.
