Bees have been sighted in my garden amongst the flowers, this is not a drill
This is cool and good!
Don't know if you're aware, but we have a froge thread
That is excellent! Thank you for sharing
This movie looks "poggers"!
This is very good advice! When I mowed lawns in my youth I would always mow around bees buzzing about on tiny weeds and flowers.
Who was this bee? They were last seen long before I made an account
are they kill?
Unless you live where it's really cold like central Canada, or some parts of the Dakotas or eastern Montana, you don't really have to worry about them getting too cold, so long as they have enough honey to last through the winter. and if it's too warm and they are too active, they will also run the risk of starving. It's important to put some sort of "entrance reducer" on the hive in the winter to keep mice out. If the mice get in they make nests in the hive and can make it smell so bad the bees abandon the hive, or at least that part of it. Also, it can cause them to break up their ball where they stay warm to go deal with the mice, and that can kill some of them too. i wouldn't think a bit of an earth enclosure would hurt them at all, but it might rot out the woodenware faster. also of course you'll have to remove the earth in the spring when you want to work the bees. It's normal and necessary for bees to have a day or two even in February where it's warm enough to fly around, and for them to do so. Usually they are flying out to go to the bathroom, and then flying right back in. Some places where it's cold they put hives inside larger shelters, but that also has the disadvantage of not having the sun warm it up quite so much on a sunny day.
