>Most of my winter losses are due to 'isolation starvation' when the 
bees are dead, head in cell, while there are ample stores only inches 
away.

Presumably these stores are granulated honey?  (I  know that you leave it
until the spring to extract).  That could be the reason for the starvation -
the 'stores' are there but not usable by the colony.

Best wishes
