5. METHODS
----------
The data was generated as per methods outlined in  Mitchell DM. 2022 Honey bee (Apis mellifera) size determines colony heat transfer when brood covering or distributed. Int. J. Biometeorol. 66, 1653–1663. (doi:10.1007/s00484-022-02308-z)
and validated in  Mitchell D. 2022 Simulating the built environment for another globally distributed species. In Proceedings of BSO Conference 2022: 6th Conference of IBPSA-England, Bath, UK: IBPSA-England.
