Overcrowd the hive with young bees? I hardly think so. The more young bees
the better.

Possibly so. I've seen this happen before. You may have to treat in the
spring.

How would you  know? Such weather is nothing you can predict.

The warmer temps alone won't effect the amount of stores eaten. If the bees
continue to raise brood then certainly more stores will be consumed. Over
the last three or four years, I have seen this very thing happen twice. Warm
autumn and winter....increased brood rearing....very strong colonies going
into winter....very strong colonies in spring....very low winter loss. In
both instances the bees ate much more honey due to increased brood rearing.
Watch them in the spring for needed food.

    Also...Bill Mraz took his miticide out early during one of these events,
and was re-infested....possibly from neighboring bee yards, or because there
was still brood with mites that hatched, never getting rid of the mites.
