with
respect to time. The kink in the plots appears at the 10-minute point
where
the problem changes from heating to cooling.
I had a couple of people ask me about this statement in the referenced
article. What this means is prior to 10 minutes this is a heating problem to
keep the brood at the 94F brood rearing temperature. The bees do not want
the brood to overheat which is were Mike Hood's and my previous research
about beeswax is where the beeswax helps maintain this temperature ( the
research / article that was not published) .
After the 10 minute point it is a cooling problem were the bees have to
maintain a 94F brood rearing temperature. This means after 10 minutes ( I
assume this article's research was done in the summer, not sure were though so
the 10 minute point may shift) the bees have to make sure the brood is
covered to maintain the 94F temperature.
