    When it rains, the bees will still go to collect honey, but the number of bees that collect honey will be greatly reduced.

    Winter is the only short period of rest for bees. However, cold weather and low temperatures inside the hive are not good for bees because bees are ectotherms.

    Its body temperature changes with the temperature of its surroundings. Brilliant little bees.

    Came up with a special way to withstand the cold.

    When the temperature in the nest is as low as 13, they move closer to each other in the hive and form spherical clusters together, and the lower the temperature, the tighter the clumps, making the surface area of the bee clusters.

    Shrink and increase density to prevent excessive cooling. It has been measured that at the coldest time, the temperature inside the bee ball can still be maintained at about 24. At the same time, they also generate heat by eating more honey and strengthening exercise to raise the temperature inside the hive.

    The bee can sense the change in air pressure before the rain, so it doesn't come out to collect nectar before the rain.

    Bees are afraid of rain. There are three reasons for this.

    1. Wing structure. Bee wings do not have a waxy structure, so they are less resistant to rain, and they cannot fly when the rain wets their wings.

    2. The weight increases and exceeds the load. When bees fly, the lifting force of their wings is limited, and the weight of their bodies increases when they get wet, and they are in danger of falling.

    3. Rain may pierce the wings. The wings of bees are very fragile to rain, and they can be easily pierced by rain, so they generally cannot fly when it rains.

    Hope solves your problem, hope.

    In fact, many people don't understand this problem, and it is not wrong to say that bees are afraid of rain, but it also depends on the situation of the external honey source, because if there is a honey source outside, even if it is a light rain, the bees will be in attendance. Although rain has a certain effect on the flight of bees, it does not affect the enthusiasm of bees to attend. If it's raining heavily, it's definitely not going to work, so it's true that bees are afraid of rain!!

    Bees are afraid of rain, and when it rains, bees will hide in their nests because of rainy days. Bees can't fly because their wings are thin, and when it rains, the raindrops get their wings wet, so they can't fly.

    For the appearance of bees, it seems that the main protective role is the wings of bees and the chitin shell of bees, for the wind bees can flutter with the wind, it seems that the impact is not great, but if it is a heavy rain, the chitin shell of the bees, maybe a little larger raindrops may break the bees, and the wings of the bees are so thin, the general drizzle may make the wings of the bees aggravated and difficult to fly, it can be seen that rain is not a good thing for bees, It can be said that it is a serious threat to the life of bees.

    Excluding breaks, bees can fly about 160 km a day.

    Bees fly at speeds of 20-40 kilometers per hour, at altitudes within 1 kilometer, and have an effective range within kilometers from the nest.

    Bees live in groups, and there are three types of bee colonies: queen bees, worker bees, and drone, and there is one queen bee (with some exceptions, two queens), 10,000 to 150,000 worker bees, and 500 to 1,500 drones. Bees work non-stop to obtain food, collecting honey during the day and making honey at night, and at the same time completing pollination tasks for fruit trees, which is an important medium for pollinating crops.

    With the increase in the number of alien bee species such as Italy introduced in China, the distribution area of Chinese honey bees is getting smaller and smaller, and it is shrinking year by year. Especially in some plains, hills and low altitude areas, Chinese honey bees have been largely or completely replaced by exotic bees.

    According to the Beijing Science and Technology News, the number of Chinese bees in Beijing alone has decreased from more than 40,000 in the fifties of the last century to less than 40 at the beginning of this century, which has reached the level of endangerment.

    The scary thing is that once the Chinese honey bee is completely extinct, it will affect the changes in all the plant symbiotic ecosystems associated with it. The common problems encountered in raising Chinese honey bees are that the queen bee is difficult to copulate, the colony loses its queen frequently, and the population declines significantly.

    Dear, I'm glad to answer your question, will bees die if it rains after collecting honey If it rains after the bees collect pollen and collect honey, the bees will fly back to the beehive or hive to take shelter from the rain. If a sudden rainstorm causes some bees to get wet, then these damp bees may experience chills, a drop in body temperature, etc. Bees are very sensitive to temperature and humidity, especially in rainy days, when the air humidity is high and the ambient temperature is low, even if there is no moisture problem, it will affect the survival of bees.

    If it is too humid, bees are more likely to die of bacteria and viruses in the nest. So, if you find that the bees are wet, you can gently dry them and put them back in the hive to settle. At the same time, it is recommended to put a clean absorbent layer next to the beehive, so that the bees can use it to drink water and regulate their body temperature.

    Overall, although rain may have a certain impact on the survival of bees, as long as appropriate measures are taken, the problems that bees have as a result can be reduced.
