Best Answer

They are shipped with a small amount of sugar paste as food, and with this can survive for a week or more. Their biggest danger is careless handling by the shippers.

A bee hive is an artificial home for bees which has been provided by a beekeeper to keep his bees in. In prolonged freezing conditions, bees might find it hard to survive if their hive was unprotected. However, in an average North European winter, bees will survive perfectly well within their hive provided that they are sheltered from cold winds and damp within the hive. They cluster together to keep warm, and the bees are always changing position so that the same bees aren't always on the outside of the cluster.
