I know of two reasonably large beekeepers (300-500 hives) in REAL north
climates who each overwinter in single deeps, by feeding an average of 60
lbs of syrup per hive. AFTER they are reduced to singles. Both claim
losses of less than 5%, and used to claim losses of less than 1% (before
mites).

     How far north?  Could you specify a location please?  Also, what strain of bees do they run?
