Will bees hint at beekeepers' recent weather changes through attendance?

Hello everyone, welcome to read my article. Today is science popularization day again. What we are studying today is whether bees will hint at the recent weather changes of beekeepers through attendance. Everyone knows that beekeeping is a business that depends on the weather. If it rains every day in the honey season, the life of beekeepers will be very hard, so beekeepers are very concerned about the weather changes. So what are the special behaviors of bees with the change of weather? How should beekeepers manage bees in advance through their behavior? In fact, you have been told about the bees leaving the nest.

1, if the bees leave the nest early to collect honey and powder.

It shows that the weather was fine that day and there was plenty of honey powder outside. At this time, bees are busy all day. If bees come home late at night, it means that the weather will continue to be fine the next day, which is most common in spring and autumn. If bees are extremely active in collecting pollen nectar when they leave the nest that day, they are more active than when they are on duty on sunny days, and return to the nest early at night, which means that the weather changes greatly the next day, and bees should seize the time to collect pollen and prepare for the upcoming extreme weather, such as typhoon days.

2. If the bees leave the nest in advance to collect pollen nectar that day and suddenly find that a large number of collected bees fly back in a hurry, it will be very chaotic.

After returning to the nest, you rarely leave the nest or stay there. A few bees look out at the door of the nest and then go back to the box, which shows that this kind of situation most often happens in summer at dawn in Shanghai. If bees go to collect honey in the rain all day, but the attendance rate is not as high as that in sunny days, it means that the subsequent rainy weather will continue, which often happens in spring. If bees suddenly leave their nests to collect more on rainy days, it means that the rainy weather will soon end and the weather will get better.

The situation of bees leaving the nest can really reflect the weather changes, and beekeepers need to observe and understand it in time, combined with the current weather forecast. So as to know the weather changes in advance, effectively manage bees in advance, and avoid the losses caused by extreme weather to bees. Welcome to leave a comment.
