I have a national (brood and half) with OMF. Do I need to put insulation above the crown board for winter or will the bees keep themselves warm? What is it best to use? Does it still need ventilation at the top?
Also what is the best way to protect from woodpeckers? I have 2 that regularly visit my garden and I don't want my bees to become a tasty winter snack!
Thank you.
