My winter preparations have included above cover board 30mm polystyrene insulation over a carpet square, insertion of varroa board to reduce draughts with sponge stuffed between the the gaps, narrowed bee space entrance with mouse guard. Three of my 4 hives also have (nadired) supers below brood box(no QE's)
Just worried if it could be too cosy with not enough ventilation; would you do any different?
Hives in exposed position, hive without super is polystyrene from Abelo.
