An authority on overwintering hives inside is James Kuehl who overwinters
1000 colonies inside a building (made for the purpose) at 7 degrees C (45
degrees F). He insures good ventilation to get rid of moisture and CO2
with a fan ventilation system, and keeps the bees in the dark (NO light)
from November through March. He uses colonies with about 3 pounds (1.5 kg)
of bees. He's been doing it for 17 years successfully! A rundown on his
methods is in the American Bee Journal- January 1990, Page 15-16. His
address: James Kuehl, Cook and Beals, Inc., Loup City, NE 68853
