I have a question for the bee experts here. What do you suggest for protecting bee hives in heavy snow country? Most of our winter storms dump 1 to 4 feet of snow at a time, and it doesn't melt until spring. Should I build a roof over the hives, or move the hives in to the barn for the winter? Should I just dig the snow out from around the hives after every storm?
The wife would eventually like to have 6 or 8 hives. I've already built her a bee house where she can store everything she needs for bee keeping and for processing the honey.
