Your wraps look great.  I wrap my hives with insulation and tar paper in
groups of four.  I works good for me but comes with a few problems
which I'm sure you all know of... time, labour, mice, deadouts ect...
Your pack seems to eliminate nearly all of them.  A question though.
I've been warned that hives have to be able to breath.  And I have been
given advise that I'm better off packing the hive a little too losse than to
seal it off, even with a vent hole in place.  Have you found moisture to
be a problem with your wrap?
