the experiments were conducted in the lab so no sunshine, humidity was about 30%
(I would have to check records, here is a guess).

To Dee, bees have no food and water during the test but were provided with them
prior and after and mortality checked 24 hrs later, in case some bees die much later
than heat exposure (which they did).
