Insulation and the KTBH

« on: September 30, 2010, 04:18:05 PM »

When building a KTBH should I incorporate an insulation factor in to the hive? It wouldn't be hard to do but do I need it. I reside in Mid State South Carolina.

The top is the main place you need insulation. I just put some styrofoam on top.
