Well, if you've never had a chance to look at your colony in winter, it's useful to take a look for your own education. Sometimes you can identify early deadouts. I haven't found that it's useful for intervening.

Hi,

Wondering if it hurts the hive to open it up during the winter to check on it when the weather is warm.

Is there anything specific to look for on a winter inspection?

Thanks,

Rob Crook
