Hard to  know as the hives are usually buried under snow from as early  
as  Christmas through to late February early March




Might be interesting to place a thermometer sensor (from a weather station  
maybe) in the middle of the brood area at the start of winter and see 
whether  brood rearing temperatures are maintained there throughout the winter or 
 not.  If 'not' there might be an opportunity for 'soft' varroa  control.
