Max has one too? Out behind the house, but the bees all died in the subzero temps recently. Sub zero temperatures should not have bothered them unless it was a weak colony to start with or you took their summer honey and neglected to feed them sugar solution as a substitute. Bees are warm and cluster together in the hive in a cluster about the size and shape of an (oval) football. The colder it gets the tighter they cluster to maintain a temperature of about 90 degrees in the middle of the cluster. They rotate the ones on the outside to give them a chance to come into the warm. But you also have to keep the hive ventilated so you must not let it get buried in snow. I don't have bees, Edgar. T'was a humorous response to an inane question. Max He deos have ants in his pants, though... Maybe it's hives... Seahag |

Mike and I spent the day by the pool drinking pina coladas then we treated ourselves to dinner at a fancy new restaurant in town. It was a bit pricey but worth every penny. Well that's just peachy, Barb. You know what I did? Plowed snow for 6.5 hours, in wind chills of - 15*. I'm so glad for you...and Mike. Didn't your Honey warm you up after?! Seahag Nothing like the smell of cold, wet dog... |

"Martin Baxter" wrote You've found Max's missing bees? Max's bees aren't the only ones missing. There's an epidemic of missing bees all over the country. They fly outta the hive one day and lots don't come back. Pretty soon the hive's all empty. I heard it on Coast to Coast with George Noore. He had a bee scientist on the show and the scientist said even scientists don't know what's happening. It's called colony collapse disorder. http://aginfo.psu.edu/news/07Jan/HoneyBees.htm Cheers, Ellen |
