There was an article in Gleanings many years ago on wintering bees
indoors in Canada. They went through some trial and error until they got
it right. They encountered the same kind of problems.

It was a very extensive operation with many hives in large buildings.
Made me give up any thought of wintering indoors. You have to control
humidity and temperature, and not just cold but warm days in the winter
where you want to keep the house cold. It is costly to do it right.

I tried to do a search for the article but came up blank.
