Would you leave your hives in their beeyards unprotected from the harsh
elements of old man Canadian winter?
I didnt think so,
we have all developed our own way of hive winter management to achieve our
winter survival goals.  I dont know a single beekeeper up here ( southern
Manitoba) who does not prepare their hives in some sort of a fashion before
winter.  wrapping thier hives, type of wrapping, types of insulation,
taking hives indoors, different wrap and insulation combinations ect....
