Mandy, I've discovered something no one else is saying positive about the overwintering negatives of Italians. They say the cluster is too large because she doesn't quit laying when the rest do. But for mine that large cluster helps a lot cuz on warm days they're flying. I don't where they find what they find but in Jan/Feb when I opened em up they were already honeybound.
That's on a par with parting the Red Sea. IMHO, unless you're socked in with a long frozen winter, Italians overwinter better because they don't stop working for the winter.
Part of the fun of BKing is looking for things like this and testing them out. Then of course you have to report back on this site.
One vote for Cordovans.
