How would you feel trying to live in a body that’s smaller than most of the world? You might imagine it as difficult, or maybe see it as something that’s easy to live with, but what about handling harsh weather conditions when you’re in a body so small? According to spectrumlocalnews.com, when a bee’s body temperature reaches 41 degrees or under, it will die. If you’ve ever seen bees die during the wintertime, that’s most likely why. Bees will huddle up with other bees just to keep warm and hibernate during winter. Terminix.com claims that bees can survive the winter, even if it’s without flowers or warm weather. Bees use their bodies as a heat source, which helps them survive in the winter. Sometimes, only the queen bee survives, leaving the rest to die. Bees work extra hard in the warmer times due to this. Not only do they need to keep warm but they also need food. Food gives them energy, and energy is necessary for survival. Bees start to go in their hives when the cold weather comes, and the queen stops laying eggs when it’s later in the fall and early winter because food stores are limited. They also feed on their honey when it is winter. Bees vibrate when being in a cluster which brings up their body temperature, because if not, they could die from being extremely cold.
