    Both Jeffree and Mobus did winter research though the two were with different aims. Jeffrees wanted to explore the optimum size of winter colony and found that bigger is not best oddly. Mobus wanted to explore water and brooding in Winter and his research first printed in the ABJ is on my website here: http://poly-hive.co.uk/damp-condensa...inter-cluster/

    Thanks for the link PH I hadn't read The B. Mobus article before

    Clipped this little quote from B. Mobus paper

    "The tables show that some brood could be found in some colonies during any of the winter months; even November and December were not without such activity"
