Did you know that Honey Bees don’t hibernate during the winter? They are actually very active.

A colony of bees will cluster up when the temperatures cool down in order to generate enough heat to keep the colony warm.

The colony will regulate the temperature of the the hive during the winter to range from the mid 80’s to the low 90’s; even when the temperature is well below zero outside.

Unfortunately, when it gets this cold, the bees have trouble breaking that warm cluster up to move and follow the food supplies (honey) around the hive. This is why bee colonies starve and die during long duration cold snaps.

Whether it is Sweet Endeavors Honey or another local beekeeper, please help support your local apiaries. Not only during this cold weather, but all year long. We all need and appreciate your support.
