Hi Bill and Graham,

I am also running transluscent beehives made of one layer of fiberglass and
other opaque beehives made of 2 and 3 layers of fiberglass as controls. The
honey season is starting here. We are about 1,500 feet above sea level.
Temperatures range from 15 to 22C. It will be interesting to note that my
fiberglass hives are triples whilst my wooden hives are only in doubles. Of
course, I've got only a few fiberglass hives, and much more wooden beehives.
I am trying to improve rigidity for migratory honey production by in-laying
aluminum angular bars in my next prototype. Also, I have devised venting
systems to make up for lost wicking action of wood.
