We have a very late winter storm moving in with temperature in the upper 20s. This is for only a few days but with this is also coming snow and rain. Typically this would not bother a hive but most of the hives have been given these extremely breathable top covers. I am going to stuff some cloth in these to reduce the air flow.
The campus pond hive was also modified with a cloth barrier on the bottom screen and cloth barrier on the top screen. These will be removed after the storm has passed.
