Of course but most of the beekeepers here are in the U.K. where leaving the bees an empty brood box but a full super might well lead to an early demise if the colony.Me, I'm located in Sweden where we have -8 C at the moment and very little activity.
We had -6 here overnight. I’ve just looked into the tops of a couple of hives. The bees in the wooden hive are indeed in a tight ball. Those in the poly are walking about the top bars.
