Conditions: Cloudy, Dark (night) 40F
Present: Just me
Equipment: Adding insulation.
Activities: Removed pail feeders, added insulation at about 7:30pm.
Observations: Observed nothing. I was in and out as fast as I could be so as not to chill the bees. The insulation is roof-top only, between the inner cover and outer cover. It's 1" of green foam board, about R = 5.0. The pail feeders came off empty. With those gone the hives should be able to stay warmer. If I can find some relatively cheap local hay bales I'll build them a windbreak...
