Long Lang overwinter question

General Bee Chat

For all those folks that have long langs, how do you manage your hive over winter?

And what are your winters like (i.e. sub zero degC? Single digit degC? Teen degC? Wet? Dry?)

Thanks in advance!

Hi @SnowflakeHoney,

I take the super off for winter, which is the second storey on the long hive.

Apart from that I don’t do anything else.

I am a few hours south of you in Busselton so similar Mediterranean winters but a couple of degrees cooler.

Oh and I strap the lid down if a storm is coming. My lid is made of polystyrene.
