> It appears that survival is somewhat dependent on young queens.
Not so with me. Oddly, 66% of winter losses were queen failures with 2010
queens. I thought that last year was very good for mating, but many of
those queens have failed; we have also seen early supersedure in addition to
the losses.
Older queens seem to be still going strong!
Best wishes
