Jim,
I appreciate your advice. It really sounds like an interesting form of
beekeeping. The only concern I have is how well a TBH will winter.
Here in Northeastern Ohio, it gets mighty cold in the winter. Have you
heard anything about how well TBH's make it through the winter?? I
imagine that the hive would have to be wrapped somehow (blanket,
maybe?), but allow moisture to escape like in a Langstroth. I'm always
willing to try something new. Now if I can just convince my wife that
this is a good idea :-).
You may not be a beekeeping "authority", Jim, but I've found your TBH
descriptions and anecdotes invaluable!!
Thanks again,
Kevin Palm
