Soon we should be seeing a drop in temperature nig Soon we should be seeing a drop in temperature nights will get colder and rainy days will come to Perth. While this happens there becomes some changes inside the beehive. Throughout the spring and summer the worker bees have worked tirelessly collect nectar and pollen and storing this inside the wax comb cells preparing themselves for the winter . When the outside temperatures drop 14 c and winter has arrived the queen will slow her egg laying to a very minimal and the worker bees will form a cluster ball within the hive . The worker bees and the queen will not go into hibernation , they will be moving , eating and performing there duties . The comb in the very center of the cluster ball contains a small amount of brood and the queen bee. The brood and the queen are kept at the correct temperature by the surrounding workers. The workers have several ways of regulating temperature and air flow throughout the cluster. The cluster is not a complete tight cluster of bees , the inside part of the cluster are able to work freely as well as the queen is able to walk freely , but the outside cluster is very tightly bonded together . To warm the cluster, the workers vibrate their wing muscles an action which burns calories and gives off heat. The temperature in the brood rearing area is further regulated by the expansion or contraction of the cluster. The temperature in the brood rearing area which is in the core part of the cluster , is further regulated by the expansion or contraction of the cluster. If the “nursery” the brood area becomes too hot, the cluster expands which increases the air flow around each bee and cools the brood . If the brood becomes too cold, the cluster contracts which decreases the air flow. The workers bees on the outside of the cluster may sometimes seem motionless or they are walking really slow on the comb around the outside cluster is because the worker bees are very cold . But as the cluster ball is always moving the worker bees are forever changing positions , the .inside core moving to the outside and outside cluster moving inside for warmth . So all the worker bees are having turns .within the cluster .
Well winter is knocking at the front door of most Well winter is knocking at the front door of most hives in Australia . This is the time most beekeeping will find alot more dead or dying drone bee at the front of the beehives or around there homes . Drones, male bees, are not physically capable of doing work around the hive. They can’t sting, can’t collect pollen or nectar, can’t take care of the larvae, . They pretty much do only two things: eat and mate. and help with keeping the beehive temperature inside the hive warm .When the weather turns cold, drones are unable to perform their sole function and that is to mate with virgin Queens . If there are no queens around to mate with, then drones tend to eat alot of resources ( honey and pollen ) which is needed for the survival of the hive to get through winter . Worker bees will stop rearing drones. Any drones in winter will get thrown out by the worker bee , worker bees will stop feeding the drones making them lethargic and will drag them out if they try coming back in they can be stung to death . So if you see some dying bees around your home or at the front of your bee hive don't worry this is normal occurrence during winter #savethebeessavetheearth
Happy mothers day to all the mum's hope your littl Happy mothers day to all the mum's hope your little workers and the drones spoil you today #mothersday
