Annual Fluctuations in Winter Colony Losses of Apis mellifera L. Are Predicted by Honey Flow Dynamics of the Preceding Year

SIMPLE SUMMARY: Honey bee colonies are lost mostly during the winter, and loss rates (the proportion of dead colonies) may fluctuate highly between years. We investigated whether foraging activity—measured as the start of honey flow in spring and its magnitude in summer—influence loss rates in the f...
