Why don't bees leave their nests?

It was observed that a large number of bees flew out of the hive in the morning, indicating that the weather was fine that day; Bees return to the box late at night, indicating that the weather will continue to be fine tomorrow; Bees don't come out of the box in the morning, which indicates that the weather is about to turn rainy; During the day, bees fly back to the box in droves, and then rarely or never leave the box, or a few bees climb on the mouth of the box to look out, which indicates that the weather will change suddenly and the wind and rain will come; After the rainy day, bees came out of the box one after another and braved the drizzle to collect honey, which indicates that the rainy weather will continue in the future.

Why are bees so sensitive to weather changes? According to the analysis, it is because bees can fly by two pairs of very light and thin wings. Very conducive to flying in sunny weather conditions with relatively low air pressure; Before it rains, the water vapor content in the air increases, the humidity increases, the air pressure is low, and the wind speed is high. Bee wings are easy to stick with water drops or raindrops, which makes bee wings soft and heavy, reduces the flapping frequency, and makes flying difficult and complicated. At the same time, sunny and windless weather can make the nectaries of flowers secrete a lot of sweet juice, which is convenient for drones to collect honey. On the contrary, rain often washes away nectar, and bees can only collect nectar before the storm comes.

It can be seen that the physiological characteristics of bees determine that they must have a keen adaptability to the external environment.

Whether bees leave the box or not is related to the weather, just like the response of other animals and plants to weather changes, which is limited by regional and seasonal factors. Comrades who are engaged in beekeeping or studying the habits of bees should carefully observe, analyze and flexibly master the living habits of bees, and supplement them on the basis of the weather forecast of meteorological stations, so as to choose good weather, fly bees well, collect more honey and get more benefits.
