What?? Could you say that again.

There are two critical times to bees for continuance IMPOV,
1) the late Summer/Fall broodnest turnover going from
short-lived honeybees to long-lived honeybees; 2) the early
Spring broodnest turnover going from Long-lived honeybees
to short-lived honeybees. 

You breach any/or all of the requirements and you have
trouble, and many beekeepers nowadays breach more then you
can count on the fingers of one hand leading to bigtime
troubles. For the broodnest turnover is also a broodnest
cleansing time and resetup time for stores for
continuance.All factors have to be taken into consideration
that effect the turn and I just don't see it being done
anymore.......FWIW.
