If that's the case, I guess we never have winter bees.  Often here in 
Western Canada, we have a killing frost when  we're still pulling honey, 
so the feed truck starts to travels with us and we're usually still 
stuffing the final bit of syrup into them (back filling the brood nest) 
as the last stragglers hatch.
