What else can I help you with?
How do killer bees pruduce faster than the honey bees if the honey does it all day?
because the honey bees are using all their energy throughout the day
Can bees build hive under a building?
Yes they can. Iactually just saw one the other day.
Why would bees be out flying around in 36 degree weather?
I assume that you mean 36 on the Fahrenheit scale ie, 4 degrees above freezing. This is just about as low as it can get before bees will not leave their hive. On a sunny day, even when the temperature is this low, bees will leave their hive on an 'evacuation' or 'cleansing' flight rather than use the inside of their hive as a toilet.
What time of day to prune rhodys and avoid bees?
Either early morning, before it gets warm enough for the foragers to leave the hive, or leave it until the evening when the foragers will have returned to the hive as the temperature falls.
After a hive is destroyed will there be a few bees from that hive still hanging around and if so for how long?
Yes, there will be some hanging around ... any foraging bee that was flying gathering pollen and nectar at the time the hive was destroyed, will make their way back to where the hive entrance was sited to bring back their food for the colony. They stick around for at least a day or two, but they cannot start a new colony without a queen bee.
Can bees in Minnesota kill a person?
The simple answer is yes, if you have a strong enough allergic reaction, swelling, a histamine response, and anaphylactic shock, a sting or multiple stings can kill a person. However, most people do not react this way. The sting is a little painful momentarily, and there may be a little burning sensation for a few minutes, but that is about it. Others may experience some minor swelling in the immediate area of the sting. And yet others may experience swelling over a somewhat broader area. But most people will not die because they were stung once or twice. The problem develops when a person is stung many, many times in one day. This multiplies the amount of venom in your body and, given enough venom, anyone has the potential to die, or become very sick. Personally, I have been stung more than 100 times in a single day. Each sting was painful, but I felt no ill effects because of it. The Africanize honey bee (the so-called killer bee), which looks very much like a regular honey bee, has not made it as far north as Minnesota, and some question whether they can survive Minnesota Winters. However, the name "killer bees" is a little misleading. The sting of the individual bee of this 'breed' is no more potent than a regular honey bee. If you see one foraging, they are no more dangerous than regular honey bees. However, all bees tend to be more aggressive when it comes to protecting their hive, and this is where Africanized bees differ. They are far more aggressive when it comes to protecting their hive, in two ways. 1) Regular bees protecting their hive usually send out a few bees to sting and chase the intruder away. If 'killer bees' protect their hive, they send out many bees and tend to chase you for a much longer distance. 2) Regular bees have a radius around their hive, which they protect, and which is usually no more than a few feet. So-called killer bees may have a protection radius that is many yards. So, they claim more territory around their hive as "their area" and they will defend it.
What is peom with 5?
I cut an almond into 5, and gave the bees 2 in their hive. The next day they were all alive, except for 1 that took a dive.
What is the optimal time of day to remove bee hives?
The best time for bee removal in Perth is in the middle of the day. The reason for removing them from your place is that at the mid-time, all the bees get the nectar from flowers. So, there are very rare bees present in the bee hives.
Why do bees fly at night?
Bees are active during the day and return to their hive at night to rest. Flying at night consumes more energy and poses greater risk, so bees typically avoid it unless they are disturbed or disoriented.
Who makes bees their home?
They make their own home day by day
What time of day do bees come out?
Bees are active from a little after dawn to just before dusk provided the air temperature is high enough (they need it to be at least 13-15 degrees celcius before they venture too far from the hive). Their peak of activity is usually early morning and late afternoon when temperatures are warm but not too hot. At midday bumblebees in particular will seek the shade of the hive as they are covered in hair and can overheat in the peak daytime temperatures. At high temperatures they will also tend to be foraging for water, which they use to cool the hive, rather than nectar.
How long can a bee survive away from its hive?
Normally a honey bee returns to its hive each night. In anything other than warm Summer temperatures it would be unlikely for an individual bee to survive until morning if it were outside overnight. However, bees do survive quite well away from a hive when they are in a swarm that is looking for a new place to set up home. The swarm generates its own heat and this ensures that the bees are able to survive even if the temperature drops a bit or it rains. But even swarms try to pick a good warm day to make their move.
