Usually queen bees do not lay eggs in winter, however in some warmer climate regions it is possible for bees to find a winter honey source (meaning plants producing flowers in winter). If the winter is mild enough, and there is a winter honey source, a queen may lay a few eggs just to help maintain enough workers to care for the hive. Manzanita is an example plant that can bloom in winter in sufficient quantity to allow the production of a little honey.
