So what do our bees do during the winter period/months?
When temperatures drop below 10 °C, our bees cluster together in their combs and vibrate with their bodies to generate the heat which can rise the inside temperature up to 38 °C, and that is how they keep their queen (who is just calmly chilling in the center😎) warm all winter long. They have their own supply of honey and a little extra sugar syrup from their caring beekeepers and that is how they survive the cold season.

The interdependence of all bees in the colony on each other makes this colony of social insects a superorganism or hive organism. The colony as a whole fits the definition of the living organism: It is born, grows, and reproduces. While each bee in the colony can act independently, none can survive without the rest. Behaviours of bees are tied to the queen. When one bee finds food or is attacked, the news are spreading through the whole colony very fast, all thanks to pheromones and behaviours of the bees.
While bees are a hive organism, the ‘hive mind organism’ is usually considered a sci-fi term and no living animal can be considered to have a ‘hive mind’ because it doesn’t share the same consciousness as the whole group. This also includes bees. Or does it?🤔

It is the end of our first very succesful beekeeping and honey harvesting season. When our bees are getting ready for the winter period and taking well-deserved rest, we can now enjoy all the health benefits our delicious honey can give us while also preparing our immune system for the winter months.

Why a hexagon?
1. The shape of a hexagon makes the honeycomb fit together like a puzzle.
2. It can store eggs, pollen and honey.
3. It saves the bees some time and energy.
4. The geometry of this shape uses the least amount of material to hold the most weight.

Marcus Terentius Varro, Roman scholar and writer, proposed that it was a mathematical hunch known as “The Honeybee Conjecture.” He explained that a structure built from hexagons is slightly more compact than a structure built from tiny squares or triangles. The more compact the structure is, the less wax the bees need to complete the honeycomb. Very smart and efficient workers!

The honey bee is one amazing and important animal. We often forget that she is responsible for pollinating our fruits, vegetables and nuts. Without her, we wouldn’t have our food. 🍏🍇🍒🥒
