Great video! I'm enjoying watching your journey into beekeeping. Here in the Northeast, assuming our colonies have plenty of food (70lbs or 7-8 deeps up here) and the mites were sufficiently knocked down with a decent cluster size going into winter, moisture would be the biggest killer of a colony, so ventilation is key.

Interesting! What do you do about ventilation?
I'm taking off my Apivar next week, I hope the mite counts are low 😬
