Snow cover and brood

[Finman]

.
When there is one week snow cover, bees cannot get drinking water from snow. All larvae will die or eaten off. IT means that 2 weeks' laying will be away.

Unless they have condensation in their hive???

Extra opportunity to deploy OA??

Good thinking! I’m not sure this lot is going to last a week though (Wiltshire).

Too cold. OAV minimum 4 degrees

Yes, but IF the brood has been killed, OAV could be administered in a week's time when he temperature rises.
However this is speculation and I'm not going to open up and look.

You could always open up to kill any?

Brood are not killed. Only larvae. Bees do not brake capped brood.
