To Jim et al:
 
Probably like many others I have been following this Tbh thread closely
and find it very interesting!
 
I may have missed something along the way-like "how well can a tbh
winter
up in these colder climates in New England & North into Canada?"
 
I always thought that you really need two supers to get thru a winter-in
case it gets real frigid. [I always err on the safer side.]
 
As near as I can see, tbh's are really about the depth of one full
super, more or less?
 
Since I always thought bees move upward in the winter - what happens in
a tbh? They don't go sideways do they? Or is it more a matter of keeping
closer tabs on whether or not they need a little feed at some point?
 
Regards,
 
Al
