Introduction: Bees are afraid of the problem of not being afraid of cold, it must be afraid of cold, just say that bees are different from the different species and different regions of the degree of cold fear, about this point in fact, beekeepers are the most clear, as long as beekeepers know that there are two seasons in the daily management of bees that are more difficult to manage, which includes winter, because winter to give bees overwintering, which also fully illustrates a point, bees are afraid of cold, let's take a look at why bees are afraid of cold.

From a biological point of view, in fact, whether it is a plant or an animal, are afraid of cold, but the degree of fear of cold is not the same, and bees belong to insects, but also to carry out metabolism, so bees also have body temperature, when affected by temperature, bees will also show fear of cold and afraid of heat, and bees for the high temperature and low temperature tolerance ability, mainly affected by the region, in general, in high altitude areas, because bees live in cold areas for a long time, relatively more adapted to the cold climate, Bees that survive in hot places are more heat-tolerant.

Intention bee is an exotic species, in addition to some special breeding of qualitative bee species, our common local bees are actually mostly afraid of cold and heat, relatively speaking, not so cold and heat-resistant as the bees, and there is also a factor is the regional characteristics of the bees, the bees in the cold places are cold, in the hot places, and also because of the climatic reasons to show different groups, such as the northern region of the bees can maintain a larger group, so that it can withstand the cold, and the southern bees are often relatively small, which is conducive to heat dissipation.

If from the perspective of bee breeding, we usually have to keep the bees warm when the bees are overwintering, generally according to the climate of the area where the bees are located, if it is the northern region, the general use of indoor wintering or cellar overwintering, and the southern region is generally outdoor wintering, but do a good job of thermal insulation measures, but also to provide bees with sufficient wintering food, these fully illustrate a point, bees are afraid of cold.
If the above reasons are not sufficient, there is another reason that is the most sufficient, that is, the state of the bees in the winter, the bees do not hibernate in the winter, but through the way of hugging the way to resist the cold winter, while adjusting the temperature, the way the bees adjust the temperature is mainly by sucking a lot of honey to increase metabolism to produce temperature, so even if the temperature is low, the temperature in the bee colony can be maintained between 14 degrees Celsius and 32 degrees Celsius without larvae.
Summary: In fact, on the issue of bees being afraid of cold, we can see that bees belong to animals and also have to carry out metabolism, and bees do not eat and move like many hibernating animals in winter, but spend time by hugging groups to keep warm, just like we people, we also need heating in winter, mainly because of cold fear.
