Kefuss's findings on the apparent impact of daily change in photoperiod suggest that this may be a reason that package bees taken to Canada build up at such amazing rates.



Ahh  thought you had that in account!   The other factor as told to me bu an Alaskan  is that EVERTHING is blooming and only the most nectar productive plants do well.  The short period of bloom weather wise creates a smorgasboard,  and long days means lots of flights.


I did ask Ian about brooding also  and he says nope,  not in storage.  This matches the others like Kirk Stoller and John have told me about the cellars in ID they use.
