Hi Ian:
Just a quick note in my overwintering building the temp. fluctuates up
and down a few degrees. Above 50F the become restless as you are
getting near cluster break. Best temp. is between 40F & 45F. What most
people forget is, keep the air fresh. If it doesn't smell good to you,
it won't be good for the bees. May be too simple but that is the system
I use.

Ivan
