To all beekeepers -
Has anyone in the honey/beekeeping business tried using a
dehydrator/dessicant system in thier hives? I thought of using a
dehydrator/dessicant system to force dried air into the hive. This would be
via a tube hooked up to the deydrator, I would place the dehydrator on a
timer to come on every 5-10 minutes on the hour, every hour or so. This
dehydrator could supply several hives via a manafold.
Would it be cost effective to do something like this? Would the forced
dried air displace/exchange the air in the hive to reduce moisture build up?
Has any university done studies on this? Feedback welcome.
