I am a new to beekeeping and have read tons of recommendations regarding bees and hives. But little I have read is directed for our weather here. I am concerned about keeping hives cool in the summer and warm in the winter as our climate varies so drastically. Are screen bottoms recommended here and 1” auger holes drilled near the handholds to allow air to circulate? But then what in winter?
What else should I know before my first bees arrive?
