Brian, I agree with you on winter die offs being questionable to attribute
to CCD.

>The physiology of northern stationary hives is so much different then hives
sitting in a feedlot in CA at 40F in December whose brood rearing is being
tinkered with by feeding

Collapses hardly correlate with winter feeding.  If anything, the
protein-fed colonies appear to do better.
California feeding is only necessary if colonies were brought in without
adequate honey and pollen stores.  Naturally well-fed colonies need zero
feeding or stimulation of any sort to make grade in almonds.
