.... and another one bites the dust.
This wintering gig in the USA really is in need of a huge rethink.

He lives in Georgia, which IMO doesn?t get winter.
"IMO" especially when strongly held and built from "sounds right
to me" does get folk in a whole lot of tangled mess, to the extent
some will spend many dollars and numourous hours creating
what they see from opinion against what experience hands them.
Pick your subspecies of EHB at whatever internal temp/rH of
the broodchamber and you will see clustering.
"Wintering" is merely a generic term for that behaviour - clustering
happens everywhere on the planet at one time or another in the
relevant conditions. That is the Science of it, not Opinion.
Clustering has been hapening here at my location for near on a week
now... it is the last ends of our Summer.
Again... much more attention is required to this in the Americas, the
statistics tell the story.
