At least you know you still have some bees alive. Now for two more months and you will be good. Brad should trade his little tractor for one your size. I'm sure it would have a bit more lifting power. Have a good week Doug.
@@ThatBeeMan LOL, I know, it does wonders for a little tractor. But what you could do with the next size up? Guess you will have to find that money tree out back.
Three to a pallet, two pallets to a side, one op top of the other, then stacked back to back. Makes 6 to a side and 12 in each wrap. First year trying it this way.
I have used wraps without entrances on a few hives and had success wintering some that way. I used one of our 4 way wraps on this so there would be a top entrance for a couple and I could see if they were surviving. This small yard gets used for all my crazy ideas and testing.
I am thinking that if there is decent survival come spring I would make wraps with ridged insulation. It would be easier to line up 12 holes with it. I don’t think I could line up 12 holes with this black wrap. It hard enough to line up 4 holes.
Looks like a Beautiful Winters Day.😁Saw a honey bees flying right there, tell her it's cold out here.🥶Thanks for sharing your time Blessed Days...
All the best, Doug!

My little tractor does a great job but it's always trying to do a job that's just a bit too big.
