I'm not talking about serious broodrearing--that doesn't normally take
place until there is some pollen coming in. I'm talking about the
reinitiation of broodrearing.
Lloyd Harris, in his study when he overwintered bees in a shed in Manitoba,
had one colony that came out of the shed stronger than it went in, due to
broodrearing in the shed. I've asked other Canadians--some who have
checked tell me that they have been surprised to see brood when the hives
come out.
