Hei!
Message below seen in newsgroup rec.backcountry. Could they really have
been honeybees? I've seen bumblebees out foraging both in terrible
weather and up high (8000 feet anyway) but never honeybees.
 
Observation of honeybees must be dependent
upon both temperature and distance to the nearest hives, but do they
have a height limit in addition? Any one have any ideas?
