Comparison of methods for wintering honeybees in the Prairie Provinces / Erdman Braun and John E. Geiger. : A43-689/1955E-PDF
Describes various methods for wintering honeybees during prolonged cold spells, based on results at the Experimental Farm, Brandon, Man. Methods include single-colony paper pack, two-colony pack and cellar wintering. Results show colonies of bees can be successfully wintered provided reasonable care is taken to supply the colonies with sufficient feed and protection. It is also necessary that the colonies have healthy queens to provide adequate population of young bees for winter storage.
