Thanks. I'll look into that. Actually, our winters are dry with nighttime temps freezing but day time temps often in the 60's F (10-15C I think). And most days are sunny. Bees fly almost every day.

Ok, since you asked I changed my profile so my location is identified. I'm in the mountains (7000 feet elevation) Southwest USA.

This is my first year with bees and I have Paradise polystyrene hives. The manufacturer recommends just keeping the bottom mesh open and reducing the entrance. No other ventilation. I'm happy to hear from others that have actually used this type of ventilation.
