Bees are not strictly endothermic; they are considered ectothermic but can generate heat through muscle activity. When they vibrate their flight muscles, especially when clustered together, they can raise their body temperature to stay warm, especially in cooler conditions. This ability to generate heat helps them maintain optimal functioning during flight and in their hive.

Is a honeybee a endothermic or ectothermic?

A honeybee is both. Like other insects, the honey bee is cold-blooded (exothermic). However, unlike other insects, the honey bee does not die off in the fall or hibernate, but is active all winter eating and metabolizing honey to keep warm. Individual honeybees are exothermic (maintaining body heat from outside sources), but a hive collectively is endothermic (maintains body heat from within).
