> So, we can assume some bees will be born while others just die.  I guess
that would probably be seen by the beekeeper as a reduced brood nest/spotty
brood, although these authors don't mention whether they saw and/or assessed
that.

Might this also account for some bees dying as the emerge - part way out of
the cell?
