Queen Bee
As i am rather bored and i have been reading old British Bee Journals on my kindle, that are free and archived on American university web sites

Ok. lots of folk law but what is does show is that the main arguements are all there and often with similar oppisite sides as on here
one thing i have noticed is Ventilation and insulation SO FAR as i am only up to 1900...it was all about having adequate moisture porous top insulation quilts ( including Manley) and adequate large entrances or even mesh 3" holes in the floor, So when did the alternative no insulation and matchstick ventilation actually originate from? matchsticks are not so far to 1900 even mentioned
PLEASE Do not turn this into a debate the virtues of either or this will become like the long running thread debate over on the pesticide section
