Honeybees in November
It is November at our Pennsylvania homestead and the honeybees are still out of the hive. This is unusual. When the weather is cold, honeybees do not leave the hive. However, this year is unseasonably warm right now, and the worker honeybees have emerged to get the last of the pollen from any remaining flowers.
Worker bees, which are all female, collect the pollen. They literally work their entire lives. The worker bee will only survive about six weeks during the months when she can collect pollen. During the winter months, she will last about four to eight months.
We hope you enjoyed a glimpse into our lives with the bees.
Make it a great day. – Bren and Chuck.
