It is that time of year again when I put on the winter wrap. It is a thick rubber pond lining I picked up from a local garden center. It was scarp and they were happy I took it away. It does not have any real insulating properties but being black it will absorb the sun light and help out a bit. I also put a two layer insulating bubble wrap on the inner cover to help out. This should give them some help holding the heat in. Now to keep an eye on then throughout the winter, keeping snow and more importantly ice from accumulating at the front entrance, and suffocating them. These are dreary pictures of my bee yard, two sites but it is that time of year.
