Some of this we have heard before, but stick with it... there is an interesting "accidental finding" during an inadvertant delay in an experiment. http://www.space.com/searchforlife/0908 ... ation.html
Pretty good little read. Did not know bees gathered nector during a full moon though. thanks Hobie. G3
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. G3
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...
