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 |
