  abstract = {{H}igh winter mortality of honey bees ({A}pis mellifera) has been observed in temperate regions over the past 30 years. {S}everal biotic and abiotic stressors associated with winter colony losses have been identified, but the mechanisms and interactions underlying their effects remain unclear. {W}e reviewed the effects of stressors on key overwintering biological traits, distinguishing between individual and colony traits. {W}e found that disturbances at the level of individual traits can be amplified when transmitted to colony traits. {B}y analyzing these cascading effects, we propose a concept of a feedback loop mechanism of winter mortality. {W}e found that population size, social thermoregulation and honey reserve are integrative traits and can predict overwintering failure. {F}urthermore, we identified social thermoregulation as a good candidate for an early warning indicator. {W}e therefore discuss existing tools for monitoring hive temperature to help mitigate the current high winter mortality of honey bees and support the sustainability of beekeeping.},
