RE: Last Rites of January's Bee
They form a cluster around the queen and constantly beat their wings to generate heat, and they work their way from bottom to the top of the hive eating all of their honey and pollen reserves.
I'm not sure about bees in warmer climates, maybe they don't need to do that
I think the bees in warmer climates do the opposite thing in the summer, venting excess heat. They're a full fledged biological HVAC system!
Bees are amazing, inspiring, weirdly cute... I've had a better relationship with my bees than I've had with some pets haha
