Hi All
 
I am a new beekeeper living just outside Dublin Ireland
 
I heard recently that hive ventilation is most important and that the hives
should be properly ventilated even if this means that a strong current of
air is blowing through them. I was also told that when the Autumn (Fall)
feeding is over, that I should raise the crown boards slightly with match
sticks to give additional ventilation.
 
What do experienced beekeepers recommend?.
 
Thanks for any help
 
Sincerely
