"Hi All,\n\nI just wanted some opinions on a hive I lost in January.\n\nI had to move all my hives to a new site just after the cold spell in January and noticed I had lost one.\n\nNo brood apart from about 5 cells.\nLots of stores, all free flowing honey.\nOnly about 5 bees with heads in cells.\n\nWhen the hive went down before winter it was not massive, so it was on my endangered list.  Also just before winter the bees had tried to supersede her but she was still laying and far too late to mate so I knocked it down.\n\nSo my feeling is failed queen failure or the cold due to number of bees.  I have attached a photo of the number of bees.\n\nAll opinions gratefully received."
