Stop it...you, too as in Happy Valentine's Day...I was just returning his sentiment...now go play with your atropine and behive... 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... |
