Please, if anybody has an experience in requeening colonies in winter, I
would be interested in having advises. I was thinking indoor.
I must precise the biogeographical conditions of my beekeeping.  44°
latitude N, our queens stop laying eggs about during a month (december). If
the winter is quite mild and the fall had been rather rainy, they can to
not stop lay.  The bees are not confined for long periods, but they are
often clustered.
Thank you.
