Introduction: In the past, due to the lack of development of science and technology, many times the pre-known climate situation is often judged by some changes in nature, so in ancient times there was a general way to see the clouds and recognize the weather, in addition to looking at the clouds, there are also activities to see animals and plants, such as ants moving to rain, snakes climbing up to rain, swallows flying low to rain, etc. have been proved by a large number of facts. Bees are also small insects that can sense climatic conditions, and bees can also sense darkness and dawn. But there is a situation that many friends wonder, that is, bees obviously have the ability to perceive climate change, why do some worker bees still spend the night outside the hive? For these "night-time" worker bees, are they industrious or "affectionate"? Today, the bee tribe will share its views with you.
In fact, experienced beekeepers have found a problem, bees actually have a very strong ability to perceive the climate, and we can look at the behavior of bees from several types of climate change.
First: sunny weather
In sunny weather, bees fly relatively high, and there are more bees traveling, and often we can hear the sound of bees flying from a long distance.
Second: Cloudy days
On cloudy days, due to the relatively large humidity in the air, the activity outside the hive will be reduced, and it is generally only active near the hive.
Third: Heavy rain
When it rains heavily, the bees behave as if they don't leave their house.
So from the above points of view, bees can indeed predict weather changes, so there are many ways for the people to use bee behavior to judge climate change, such as what we often say is "bees with rain to collect honey on a sunny day", "bees do not leave their nests, it will rain in the middle of the night" and so on have been well confirmed.
Although it is said above that bees can predict climate change, but in the actual breeding, many friends will find that bees also have the habit of spending the night outside, there are two theories about this habit, one is that bees are too active when collecting honey and forget to return to the nest, so they spend the night outside, and the other is that the worker bees and male bees are "secretly in love" outside, delaying the return to the nest, after all, the worker bees are also females.
First: will the worker bee really "cheat" with the male bee?
In fact, to say that the worker bee will "steal love" with the male bee, although there is such a phenomenon in many social insects, the bee tribe believes that it does not exist in the world of bees, because the male bee's range of activity is higher than that of the worker bee, and the work task and time are inconsistent. Male bees have the most test flights every day, but the purpose is to chase the queen bee for crossover, this range of activity is higher than the range of activities of the worker bees, and it will not be very late, and the main task of the worker bees is to collect honey, which can be relatively late.
Second: the truth of the "night without return" of the worker bee
In fact, to say why the worker bee "night does not return", the bee tribe believes that it is still industrious, because the bee and the plant have formed a mutual adaptation relationship, such as the plants that can be used for bees to collect honey are often developed in the direction of benefiting bees to collect honey, some plants do not flow honey much during the day, and there is a lot of honey in the evening, in order to adapt to these plants, only the honey collection time is delayed, delayed until the evening, if the honey source is too far from the bee farm, there must be some worker bees who cannot return to the nest before dark. At this time, the bees only "spend the night" on some leaves or in a place sheltered from the rain, and then collect honey the next day and then return to the hive.
Therefore, the bee tribe believes that the reason why the bees "do not return at night" is still industrious, and there is no so-called "secret affair" with male bees. #谷丰计划 #
