Worker bees bringing pollen into the colony
CVJS Apiary updates - here we will share monthly updates on what is going on with the hives.
CVJS Apiary - March
Honey = 10% full
As the weather warms above 10°C the worker bees will leave the hive, returning to a cluster of bees during cold evenings to keep the queen bee warm.
A hive is kept at a constant temperature of around 35°C by the worker bees. To do this, they vibrate their bodies to generate heat. This uses a lot of energy so we need to leave honey for them to eat!
Watch the video on the right >>>> and look at the colours in the list above.
Worker bees busily bringing in pollen (protein) into the hive.
Can you identify the plant they collected it from?

Hopefully the hives will fill with bees in the next couple of months.
