> How do you define starve? I have had bees that have starved because it was simply too cold for too long to move the cluster across the frames and as a result starved out within 1" of honey.
Right. Any northern beekeeper has experienced that, myself included. To me, it is not starvation, if there is adequate stores. What you describe is bees dying from being too cold to feed themselves.
