2021 Winter Wrap Study
As beekeepers we hear many theories about how we should wrap our hives for winter.
During the 2021-22 Winter, NHBA conducted a follow-on to the moisture study to try to answer
the question “How does the type of wrap affect the inside temperature of the colony and
bee movement?” The data analysis and study results as well as basics about the
thermodynamics of the hive can be found at:
