I have never had a colony starve on me, so I wonder how this is possible.
Mine have occasionally succumbed to 'isolation starvation' in that they die
of starvation within inches of ample stores. Often this is because they
are rearing brood during winter and are reluctant to leave it to move onto
other stores during a cold snap. Eventually Darwin will eliminate the
strains that do this.
