Cold didn’t kill them

This is an update to “”Cold doesn’t kill bees” they say”. My fiber pot swarm trap bees overwintered just fine, and are piling in the pollen.

I keep honey bees in Reading, Bernville, and Fleetwood, PA without treatments. I love to garden and observe Wasps, Bumble bees, and ants. I also raise mealworms for my Eastern Spotted turtle and myself. View all posts by brucelovesbees

That’s great! I love it when bees do better than we anticipate. I’ve read that cold doesn’t kill bees too until about-20 or colder. I think moisture kills bees and they get hypothermia. So glad you posted the update.
