Honey Bees Overwintering

 Overwintering honey bees is a worry.  One can’t help but think that hives are just not thick enough to provide good thermal insulation.  They must be though as most hives survive the winter.  Next year I think I’ll put sheep’s wool under the roofs.  Fingers crossed for the spring.

Alternatively, Shetland sheep and Black Welsh Mountain sheep don’t appear to mind the winter!
