I was thinking possibly something like this.

Wouldn't a rat trap do the same thing but cost way less?

So I'm mostly on the site to dream about this lifestyle while doing research. I get Social Security Income and until I find a job that's decent or find someone to join on this journey, this is a pipe dream. The homestead life. But Bees! Here in Michigan we get snow and recently the weather's been really cold. I know there are insulation siding you can use to protect the bee's but is it beeneficial at all to have a bee house? Like a small shed/shack which you put the bee hives in? Something insulated with a place for bee's to come in and out of? That type of thing.
