Winter Moisture Observational Study
Using data from hive monitoring systems the study aims to understand the effects of moisture on overwintering hives and how our winterizing methods might be improved.
Winter Moisture Observational Study
NHBA ran a Winter Hive Moisture study to collect data to see if we can correlate management practices to moisture issues.
The NHBA Winter Hive Survey (2017-2019) listed moisture as one of the top 5 reasons for winter
colony loss. To understand more about this issue, NHBA ran a Winter Hive Moisture
Observational Study during the winter of 2020-21 collecting temperature and relative humidity
data to try to correlate management practices to moisture issues. The data analysis and study
results can be found at:
