Yeah, it's basically this. Most wouldn't survive winter.

How do they survive winter? Do they hibernate, go south or stay?

They mostly enter a low activity state and cluster in the hive to stay warm and save energy/honey. If it gets warm enough outside on occasion you will see them leaving the hive to poop and push the dead bees out.
