Thanks all for your responses on and off list.

I bought two weather thermometers with remote probes from Radio Shack this
morning.  They both read several degrees low, and a half a degree
different--so much for accuracy.

Nevertheless, I stuck them into the honey at the edge of a cluster, about
1.5 inches apart, and watched the differences in temperature between
them--started at 5 degrees F in the morning, and went to 12 degrees
difference by midday.

I moved them closer together just before dark, and left the hive open at
top to the frosty night.  Will check the gradient in the morning when temps
have stabilized.

Thanks,
Randy
