Over winter I kept a spare brood box with drawn frames in my garage. Just stood it in a corner, no mouse guard on it - was planning to clean it all out but didn't get around to it. Imagine how cross with myself I am now.
Night before last I heard scratchings in my loft.
Looked in the garage and the hive is decimated inside. All that is left is bare frames and a big pile of stinking mouse droppings. And now I've got mice in my loft.
Got the mouse man in.
How do other people store their hives over winter?
