I only have my one huge Perone hive right now, but this is the second winter I've had them and they are doing great as far as I can tell. My Warre hives didn't make it. I'm going to build a couple more Perone hives to populate this spring I think. I have high hopes that the Perone hives will do really well in this climate. The first year I worry about them thriving well enough to build a good population by winter when they have those huge boxes to fill, but if they make the first winter, they should do great. Mine did well enough to send off a swarm last summer.
