Fully Insulated Lid, Something You Should Consider for Winter Prep

Описание: Join us as we discuss the importance of a fully insulated lid vs a ventilated lid. The thermodynamic benefits the bees experience just like in their natural home, a tree cavity include:

🐝Conduction
🍯Radiant Heat
🐝Convection
🍯Condensation
🐝Humidity
🍯Hypoxia
🐝Diapause

Higher CO2 levels managed by the bees has been shown to lower the bees’ activity to where they are in a state of deep dormancy/hibernation (diapause), conserving energy/resources through an ultra-low metabolic rate (ULMR) especially during winter along with varroa mite mortality.

Subscribe to Wild Hives as we show you how to provide conditions in which bees find their own natural solutions through minimal interference and learn sustainable
methods that foster the bees welfare that facilitate their natural behaviors while working within their limits.

More About Us!
Welcome! We’re so glad you are here! We are Sonja and Rob. Our beekeeping journey, not unlike many beekeepers, started with joining our local bee club, reading stacks of material, and seeking support. It wasn’t long before we realized we wanted to pursue a more natural and sustainable approach in our beekeeping. Collecting only local honey bees through swarm trapping and managing them in hives that closely mimicked their natural home, a tree cavity, the formation of Wild Hives LLC and the growth of the Wild Hives Community began.
