DEFINITION

  • Chilled brood, sometimes called overheated or starved brood, is a disorder of bees caused either by cold or by overheating. When the colony's population declines, fewer house bees are available to protect the brood combs. Some brood is exposed to cold air, and this reduction of heat in the hive can kill larvae, eggs and capped pupae. Overheating can have a similar negative effect. Chilled brood may also be the result of pesticide poisoning.
