Vlogging in the Rain - Bee Vlog - Oct 25, 2014

I got a few questions asking why I would install rain protection for my hives. Well, it rains a lot here. We basically live in a perpetual state of wetness for about 6 months. So anything I can do to reduce water in and on the hives might help with overwintering.

Rain Protection - Bee Vlog - Oct 11, 2014

In an effort to reduce the amount of water in and on the hives this winter, I'm installing a roof over all the hives. It's kind of a small roof. I wish it were a little bigger. But I think it will still be an important addition. Especially for the nucleus hives that don't get much rain protection from the lid.
