(abortion or murder?) These females are killing babies to make more resources available for the community. (abortion or murder?)

During winter, bees cluster in a tight ball. In January, the queen starts laying eggs in the center of the nest. Because stored honey and pollen are used to feed these larvae, colony stores may fall dangerously low in late winter when brood production has started but plants are not yet producing nectar or pollen. If winter goes long and the food stores become too low, the worker bees begin tossing the larva out of the hive.
