Hi All,
I recently testing a setup for determining the amount of calories lost by
top venting. The results surprised me, so I'm gearing up for more formal
tests.
A question that I have is the amount of water that actually exits the top
vent. If the ambient temp is very cold, that water vapor should condense
immediately and freeze to form a mass of ice.
That amount would be a strong indication of how much water actually
exited over a period of time.
Does anyone have photos of such ice at the vent that I could use?
And even more, enough observations to estimate how much water exits in a
week when it's been really cold? Metabolically, for a colony burning
through a pound of honey a week, there should be slightly over a cup of
frozen water by the end of the week.
Feel free to reply off list
