Bees, like all insects are considered to be cold blooded. But this only means they do not maintain their bodies at a fixed temperature. Their bodies are far from cold. Under normal circumstances a bee's body temperature is anywhere between 25oC and 38oC, even in the middle of winter.

They use exothermic means to control their body temperature. This means that they control their temperature via external means by taking advantage of the environment around them. This would include things like sunning on rocks to warm up, or shading themselves to cool down.

Well, bees are very different from reptiles, birds, and mammals, because they do not have veins. In insects, blood simply gushes around instead of staying in veins. I believe that insects are in general cold-blooded. They need to warm their bodies in the morning after a cold night, and also have slower metabolisms than that of warmblooded animals.
