My hive is weaker than usual as hornets were giving us grief. My question is. Can bees brood, as they huddle up to keep the queen warm. Through the colder months. We had a weeks worth of -10c to -17c This week and now today starting a weeks worth of +4c to +9c. The bees are wrapped up with 1.5” insulation plus and outer tarp. Sawdust on top box. I did not take any honey also . Just more curious as to would they brood in colder months if they should.

Q. The photo shows the winter set up in your snowy yard. How do you determine that colonies would be better or you prefer by single brood or doubles?

Thanks for postinf. I’m going to look at the post on building a backyard hive next.
