I guess healthier hives would be less prone to winter die-off. Wonder what they feed the yeast on?

In his defense, it is a pretty good comment (there's multiple layers going on) while being a bit of a sleeper at the same time. And given the size of the Lemmy audience, it's not likely to ever get the number of votes it deserves.

And in your defense, I doubt he really thought it through that deeply, and instead just posted the first idiotic thought that came to mind.
