Hi John & All, >Has anybody tried bubblewrap before. That's what I'm thinking. Any >comments? > There is a better material to use than just plain old Bubble wrap, it is called Refectix, which is a double bubble sandwiched with foil on both sides. I have used it in the past and I will use it in the future if I think wrapping in needed. Below are two URL's, one for my web site where near the bottom of the home page I have a picture of one hive wrapped with reflectix along with links for info on Reflectix. The other URL is for a site that shows hives wrapped with reflectix in Quebec. http://balder.prohosting.com/~starrier/index.htm For English version http://translate.google.com/translate?sourceid=navclient-menuext&hl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ereineschapleau%2Ewd1%2Enet%2Farticles%2Fhivernage%2Efr%2Ehtml and for French version http://www.reineschapleau.wd1.net/articles/hivernage.fr.html Make sure top is insulated and the hive is well ventilated when done wrapping. . . ..
