Hi all
I have never seen frost in my hives in winter, and attribute that to proper venting. The importance of this has long been understood:

Townley's Patent Premium Self Protecting Hive (1843)

... the perfect simplicity of its construction, and the happy effects produced by the wire screen bottom in ventilating the hive, and ventilation near the top of the hive to let off the vapor which frequently causes the death of the Bees in the winter by freezing.
