Tim,
I take it that the mail in which you mentioned ........."The article I read discussed problems they
were having with losses concentrated in certain portions of the building due to uneven ventilation."

was referring to a topic I posted several weeks back.

The Bee-L archives will show interested parties several responses.

I managed to get further info. as printed in "Beekeeping in Western Canada" edited by J. Gruszka
(Saskatchewan Provincial apiarist, Canada)
ISBN: 0-7732-6139-7
Published by
Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development

It contains a good section in chapter 10, referring to Indoor wintering.
>From other sources, I understand that this section was the result of work undertaken at Winnipeg
Univ. (correct if incorrect!).

The information relates to the indoor wintering of full blown colonies, giving indications on
temperature, humidity and air quality control etc.
How the figures and mechanisms mentioned would translate when trying to winter nuc. colonies - I had
no knowledge.
I suggest that it would be useful info. for Robin to get hold of.

Regards,
Peter
