Earlier this week we had a "cookout" near one of my hives. We used three
types of lighting; kerosene lanterns, "Coleman" lanterns, and electric
fluorescent lights. Halfway through he evening we realized that the
fluorescent lights were attracting bees and moved those lanterns away from
the group.
Why did the bees gather only around that one kind of light? Was it because
it was cool and the others hot, or is it related to the wavelength of the
light.
