you were doing the modelling using crude methods... another Finman logical fallacy attributing the opponent with your own behaviour then saying its invalid.
now guy, time to change your doctor.
oh my goodnes. i was not modelling anything. It was ball volume formula.
I only told, that if hive is warm, it can keep bigger brood area than colder hive. That was my simple idea.
it is not ment any model.
Derekm, do you really think that I have wasted my 50 years in beekeeping in cold climate and my 6 years in university without learning anything?
Helsinki university must have very low level if it is not enough to British 2-hive owners.
I need no modelling, how to add super. I have learned with trial and error how to take care on hives build up.
What I take care in hive heat issues are
- proctected, non windy hive site, sunny.
- insulated brood boxes (poly)
- solid floor
- entrance size and upper entrance control
- first enlargenins / more space under brood box.
- electrict heating in spring 7-15W
- big colonies, 3 brood boxes
- queens good layers
here you have modelling if you need
if you get with your system 120 kg honey per hive, call me.
