How do bees keep the hive cool?
They fan it with there wings.
What temperatures can bees live at?
In order to be able to fly a bee's body temperature must be around 35oC. While flying, the large wing muscles can generate sufficient heat to maintain this, but if the air temperature falls below about 14oC the bee is no longer able to produce enough heat to maintain its body temperature. For this reason bees do not leave the hive if the air is too cool. Within the hive, the bees cluster together and the temperature within the cluster will be about 35oC. As the outside temperature drops the bees just cluster more tightly and in this way they can tolerate the low temperatures of winter. In the summer, bees control the temperature in the hive. As the temperature starts to rise they will fan with their wings to circulate air. If it gets really hot, bees will go out and collect water which they spread over surfaces in the hive. The evaporation of this water helps cool the hive. A bee that is getting too hot in flight will regurgitate a droplet of fluid which as it evaporates will cool its head by up to 10oC. Below about 10oC bees become inactive due to the cold, and above about 38oC their activity again slows down. They can tolerate temperatures of 50oC for short periods.
How long does it take bees to make a hive and how long do they stay?
it takes almost 5 years.......Really?
How can bees be eliminated without employing professional services?
Personally, I will recommend you to take help from a professional belonging to a good pest control company. But if you are still not interested in bees' elimination by a professional pest control exterminator then you have to either use smoke strategy or use organic sprays against the hive. As an organic spray, you can use vinegar and water mixture.
Does weather affect bees?
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.
Do honey bees swim?
No. Bees seen around water are there to drink. They also collect water to take back to the hive.
Why do bees like your pool?
Like all animals, bees need to drink. They will also take water back to the hive for the other bees.
Does bees dance?
bees do dance but in a figurative 8 for it bee mates to to recenize that the bees must go back to the hive
Do bees know when a member of the group doesn't come back to the bee hive?
Given that there can be over 50,000 bees in a hive in Summer, this seems very unlikely. Bees look out for the colony as a whole and not to individuals.
Can or cannot bees within one hive comunicate with bees from another?
Bees within one hive can communicate with bees from another hive through scent trails, which they use to signal the location of food sources or new hive locations. This communication enables bees to share information and resources with bees from different hives within the same colony.
Are bees attracted to a slat water pool?
Bees do need to collect water, for drinking and to cool the hive. They are not especially attracted to salt water.
Who builds a bees hive?
Bees
Which Part Of A bees body does the Honey Come Out Of?
Honey does not come out of a bee's body. Bees collect nectar from flowers and take it back to the hive where it is spread in cells in the honeycomb. The combination of warmth and air flow in the hive evaporates water from the nectar, and the result is honey.
Do bees make honey out of their mouths?
No. Honey is made in a honeycomb, out of pollen that bees bring back to the hive on their legs.
Do bees reuse the same hive?
Yes, bees typically reuse the same hive for several seasons. The hive serves as their home where they store honey, raise their young, and communicate through intricate dances. Bees continuously maintain and protect their hive to ensure the survival of their colony.
Where bees bring pollen is called?
Where bees bring pollen is called a "hive." The hive is their home and the place where they store pollen, honey, and raise their young bees.
What do worker honey bees eat?
Worker honey bees eat a mix of nectar, pollen, and water from flowers. They collect these resources to bring back to the hive for themselves and the rest of the colony.
