Autumn Harvest Orchard Bees bearding outside their hives

Bearding helps to regulate a bees internal temperature when they are hit and need to cool down.

Often times you’ll see them bat their wings to increase the airflow going into the hives.

Update (7/22/2022): Bee hive ready to swarm on a hot 90+ degree summer day. 🐝
