- This is not a new method of doing anything. Beekeepers have been doing this since Langstroth came up with his hive design.
If you get your basics with.
1. Food
2. Box size for colony
3. Near zero mite drop
4. Condensing trap hive(moisture diversion)
There is no need to insulate hives. Unless your in a really cold region.

What is going to produce more moisture inside of a hive?
A: Clustered bees with capped over honey
B: Clustered bees with open frames of nectar(nectar being comprised of 75% moisture)
Now that you know the real culprit of high levels of moisture inside of a hive. Now you can deal with it appropriately.
This really got you going, for that it's worth the 1.5+ hours of watching 😂
Love your tapped air idea!
Thanks Galloway but that's not even my idea, That setup was how everyone did it back in the day. I just explained how it worked.
@strutt01 * Today, everything is as old as the latest post! 😎
@@gallowaylights so true!
I do industrial HVAC work so I understand anything thermal completely and thoroughly. 😁
@strutt01 * That's awesome, I was doing residential HVAC 30 years
Oh ya those have been around for ever. Location, location, location...
Thank God. Someone gets it! Lol 😂😂😂
Location is everything. I tried some insulated and one non insulated last year and they all survived and did fine. The insulated ones used less honey for the most part. I would think in arid areas keeping the moisture in could be beneficial but we are very humid here. I’ll probably insulate some again and continue comparing out of curiosity. Our Broodminder sensors show they maintain the humidity at a rather steady level if it’s hot or cold or anywhere in between.
@@BrianCooper901 those brood minders look interesting. Do you have them in both hives?
@BrianCooper901 * Some say they get less fly time, so slower growing. Due to not sensing the sun as quickly. I have some wrapped year round with 2" insulation... nothing jumps out at me as life changing😢
