Did you know that bees have their own air conditioning? Here is a picture I took today of our Queen Lillibet's hive. See all the worker bees perched at the entrance of the hive, beating their wings like crazy? They are fanning in the cool air into the hive. For our hive hosts, you might see worker bees clinging to the outside of the hive, either fanning to keep it cool, or just staying outside because the queen has kicked all the workers outside. Either way, the ladies will be working double-time while the weather is sunny to put up as much honey and pollen as they can, so expect lots of bee activity around your hive!
