Mike thats quite the photo there.....what kinds of lines have you worked with over the years that are represented in your apiary? Also I wanted to add a comment that I have had better luck with 15# felt then plastic for wrapping for moisture control here in central MN. But felt is hard to reuse as it cracks and when wrapping 4 hives the felt is not wide enough at 36". I am testing out a tyvek style roofing paper this year thats really durable, colored black and comes in 4 ft wide rolls. There are several versions on the marketplace. Its supposed to be highly breathable, waterproof and durable. Anyone else here used any of this and has any comments? *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
