Is there a standard percentage of winter die off that is normal for a healthy beehive?

Thanks, topdog

0-12 per day is a round about average, I'd say is normal. Over the entire winter dearth there can be hundreds on the bottom or more. Workers don't last very long.

Workers don't last very long.

4 to 6 months is pretty good...
