>I've recently asked myself the question whether or not hives can perish
during the winter from dehydration rather than starvation during the winter?
Yes. And not only during the winter, but even during spring buildup if the
bees are confined by bad weather.
This is an avenue of needed research that has come to my attention over the
past few months.
