Were you able to ascertain the location of this beekeeper? As we all are
quite aware, all beekeeping is local.....
While I acknowledge the use of the term "winter", by those keepers South
of the Mason-Dixon line and West of the Rockies, it's more of a brief
summer break, than it is 5 months of continued cluster and flighlessness
like it is in the Midwest, North-East and Canada.
I am not quite as knowledgeable to how winters are in different European
nations....I would assume they fluctuate, much like North America in
relation to the Equator and elevation.
