Honey bees and winterkill

Description

After the unusually high overwintering losses during the winter of 2006-2007, beekeepers were concerned about honey bee health and what should be done to reduce bee winterkill. Because winterkill can be attributed to several possible causes, best management practices have been developed to provide beekeepers with some options to minimize the amount of winterkill in any given year.
