Hi there, I'm currently getting my new National hive ready for my first season as a beekeeper bnelefore I collect my bees from yourself.
Do you think it might be worthwhile while I am getting the hive ready prior to collecting the bees when ready to instal a hive heater in order to give the bees a helping hand through the winter.
I'm a bit of a gadget man and can instal a heater, solar pannel and 12v battery for about £30 with the only item in the hive would be the heater itself being about the size of a Blackberry mobile phone. The small solar pannel would be fixed to the roof and the 12v battery would be fixed to the hive stand.
In your oppinion is this something you would recomend or do you think it's not worth the effort and extra cost.
