Interview with Experts: The Condensing Hive Concept with Dr. David Peck and Bill Hesbach

Betterbee’s Director of Research and Education, Dr. David Peck, sat down with Master Beekeeper Bill Hesbach to discuss the concept of "condensing hives" and Bill’s perspective on good overwintering practices. Note that Betterbee deeply values Bill’s insights into the movement of heat and moisture in a winter hive, but does not exclusively endorse the Condensing Hive concept as the only valid winter management philosophy.
