I've got a real question, how do bees know when they can go out and when they cannot? Are their little bee weathermen? Do they have a police task force of the strongest bees that round all the bees up and bring them in before the weather gets too bad? I don't get it
Bee weathermen are highly prevalent in the bee community. My favorite is Stormbee Sky. She's on channel 8
