Some of this we have heard before, but stick with it... there is an interesting "accidental finding" during an inadvertant delay in an experiment.

Pretty good little read. Did not know bees gathered nector during a full moon though.

Nope, didn't know that. I did know that quite often there are alot of bees left behind when I move hives in July. But I just thought that they stayed out during the night because they didn't get back home before dark. Now apparently they may be out working. Those must be the Type A Bees, not the Type Bee Bees.

That is what I always thought, they just got caught after dark and had to camp out in a bloom somewhere til the sun cam up again.

Make you wonder if they ever go to sleep.

Bees got a third shift?

Apparently so :wave: When we have a full moon here it's like daylight outside so it makes sense they would use that time too...
