Yes, it affects their ability to forage for nectar. Bees will not leave the hive if the air temperature is below about 14oC (56oF), or if the wind speed is greater than about 12 mph (a bee can only fly at about 15 mph). They also will not fly if it is raining.

Long periods of poor weather can seriously affect bees' ability to make honey and, potentially, the survival of the colony.
