Bees in for the Winter

The hive needed a straw wind block, the roof got some insulation to keep warm air in better and a vent to allow moisture to escape. They also got 4lbs of emergency sugar. It's just poured on top of a newspaper, called Mountain Camp method, as condensation rises off the bees, the sugar traps it causing caking. If the bees run low on honey, they will move up to the top and eat thru the paper to get the sugar cake. I'll check on them again the next time the weather gets up around 40-50 degrees, else not really till maybe February.
