Why do bees not move toward the honey stores in cold weather, and starve?
Does this happen in feral hives? Would this be in a manmade hive that is too cold, or moist? Should all the bars be moved around in the fall so they move in one direction only, with say the bars of brood and bees in the back of the hive if the entrance is in the front? With the honey all toward the front of the hive?
I realize I will get lots of different anwers, but I would like to weigh all, and thanks..
Will this warm spell hurt them, increase their feeding needs?
