Bill says "But the most interesting part of Mitchell's paper for me is the notion that the insulation value of man-made hive bodies may actually evoke a winter survival mode marked with frequent tight clustering rather than the more natural thermal regulation behavior that may be happening in a taller cylindrical tree cavity. "
That is one of Mitchell's main points and on which he is continuing to work. I have asked him via another forum if he is willing to join this discussion on BEE-L. We'll see.
