Beekeeping Association: heat is bad for apiculture
Extreme heat is not conducive to apiculture because plants are blossoming for a shorter period of time, and bees have to deal with the cooling of the hive as well -the president of the Hungarian Beekeeping Association told M1 news channel on Friday.
Bross Péter told that the flowering period of plants decreases to half, so the bees have less time to collect nectar.
It is further reduced by the fact that bees carry water instead of nectar, with which the hive is cooled so that it does not heat up. The constant temperature of the hive in the summer is between 30-35 degrees, but it can warm up to fifty degrees because of the sunshine – he said. (MTI)
