   I've wondered the same thing. This year I'm going to keep a 2-frame-wide 
feeder in the top super of each hive, just to make a "warm spell" or "early 
spring" feeding easier/quicker.

   At the temperatures of the far part of northern New England, I can't 
imagine there'd be a significant temperature change in the hive by doing 
this, but I'm all ears if anyone has any experience or thoughts on the 
topic.
