Hi all,
 
In http://biology.dbs.umt.edu/bees/home6.htm it says:
"PC BEEPOP is versatile and user-friendly. We designed it for use on any IBM-compatible computer with a hard disk, 640k of available memory, and a graphics adapter card. Pull-down menus facilitate the entry of initial honey bee colony size and age structure, foraging profiles, and factors that influence rates of birth, longevity, and morality..."
 
I'm really interested on knowing what are the main factors that influence bee's rate of morality.
 
Would "queenlessness" be one?   How about drones/queen ratio?
 
Regards,
