If you are a northern beekeeper and your bee yard has electricity available,, then I don't know why you would not install hive heat Costs about $1/month, well worth it, set thermostat at -5C or so
Dave can you expound on this? I have been pondering it for a year or two, but find little to no information on the methods. I do see on Ebay you can buy hive heating pads cheap, and a controller, but have not seen info on the best use of them?
