Not necessarily.
In the spring and summer, bees may not make it back to the hive. I know that we like to think that bees live on forever, but they don't.
When bees are confined to the hive long term because of the season, they like to keep a clean house. As things pile up..... see where I'm going with this... they remove them from the hive.
We expect to see some dead bees in the winter. Not to worry, they are tucked away warm and well fed until the spring.
