This year, winter in Europe, resembling spring, activates bees. When it does not rain and a few degrees above zero, they fly out of the hive. As Jolanta Pikut from Bialystok University of Technology emphasized, this is not good for the health of insects or their descendants.

Direct speech: “Bees in this period should be in a state of lethargy, which reduces their metabolism. This allows them to survive the winter and survive until spring, so that a new generation will be grown by those wintering bees.

Now, unfortunately, bees are stimulated, developed, consume more honey, unfortunately, they clog the digestive system and are more susceptible to all diseases, ”said the beekeeper from Poland Krzysztof Tokayuk.

A working bee lives no more than 40 days.

If winter weather with snow and frost suddenly returned to the territory of Europe, this could end tragically for bees who left their hives.

Earlier it was reported that in megacities of Poland, projects have begun to integrate bees into the urban environment.

So, under the Poznan for the Bees program, several apiaries were built in Poznan, and meadows and honey gardens will be created. These green spaces will not be treated with chemicals so as not to damage the bees.
