All will be well, and that will be well is well.
Yeah, ya'll are def more consistently cold than we are. We had -30°x 3 nights but that is (and shall remain I hope ) unusual for us. Typically our normal (occasional) lows are in the -15° range + or -.Rofl!!
There is no way I could keep them at 30-40 degrees.
People that haven’t lived in the north don’t understand our temps.
We have very short days most with a weak sun and lots of 20 below.
There is no way a green house or one I could afford will keep 30 degrees all winter long.
I'm thinking I might wrap my hypothetical bees and put them in the greenhouse for winter. I can open the big roll-up door on sunny days. The greenhouse is now filled with big, fat, tall raised beds that should provide thermal mass to modulate temps at least a little bit...
