Field Bee
Presumably colonies naturally get smaller throughout the initial part of the winter when they are broodless.
I’ve seen a few people mention that there is likely brood in most hives at the moment. So will many colonies have turned the corner and be starting to grow in numbers rather than contract now? Or will the death rate still be exceeding the rate of emerging bees?
