Bee calls have skyrocketed here in
SW Pennsylvania,  -I've been
doing one cut out per nite and 
turning down many calls.

My question is,,,,

When swarms enter a home,
some bees will get confused
in orientating to the entrance,
and enter the living quarters.

They will often die within 
hours.

My question is,,,,

Why do these bees die withen
hours?  Flys will stay alive for days
bouncing off windows.

The best answer I can 'guess at' is
honeybees convert honey in the 
honey sac for energy to live,  
and when this runs out, so does
the life of the bee,  -whearas 
flys get energy off of fat reserves
perhaps?  -Is this the reason for 
rapid death of lost swarm
bees?

Thanks in advance.
