The subject of population dynamics/growth-models
in relation to a.o. colony death was approached
from a mathematical viewpoint by prof.dr. Hermann
Stever, univ. of Landau, Germany, in:
 
'Ein mathematisches Modell als apistische
Studie zum Massenwechsel'
(originally appeared in Die Biene, 1991,
heft 9,pp. 476-486)
by prof. dr. H. Stever, Institut f.
Bildungsautomatik/University of
Landau(Germany)
 
I had the honour of trying to translate/abstract
the article in 1993( in which I did not succeed
for the full 100%, not being of the
mathematical persuasion myself..)
 
Hermann Stevers email adress in 1993 was:

hope this helps!
 
sincerely, Hugo
