Good day
I did a temp study in several hives in 2003 following them from fall into
spring-- I'm keeping this simple. One hive had 12 temp sensors placed
between frames, between frames and box, and on top and below frames - i.e.
evenly distributed.
Similar findings as yours -- just a few more sensors.
It was interesting to observe where the bees began to cluster when it got
cold.
and the most fascinating event while taking readings ( which I did at the
same time every day- even in almost blizzard conditions )
was to see the numbers change as the cluster began to move.
temps even then were 34 in Feb --- must have been about the middle of the
cluster
All that was plotted against outside temps.
I did this to see how well they handled the interior situation compared
with the outdoors.
Well done, I think everyone out there should do this for a greater
understanding of that organism and how it deals with conditions within vs
without the hive.
btw
perhaps someone knows Chuck Fleischer of Minder Technologies and can tell
him I wrote this
cause Chuck was the guy I wrote to and happened to be the pres. of Minder
and came out here with a box load of indoor outdoor sensors.
Thanks Chuck
