I finally got around to examining my Styrofoam hives and recording the
result -- with photos -- on my current diary page.

I had thirteen, 12 Beemax and 1 Swienty.  Of the 13, I lost 5 over
winter.  Of the 12 controls, I lost none. My test was hardly scientific.
I transferred the bees into the boxes late.  I've heard that others,
Aaron and Murray included had great results with the plastic hives.
