When it gets very hot, the bees stop foraging and stay home.  When

pollinating canola in Southern Alberta, we noticed that if the day was

very hot, they stopped work around 2 PM.





- when it gets hot the nectar dry out or the plant flowers stop production of nectar. Therefore, bees stop foraging. I saw that during Cranberry pollination. Once farmers turn on the irrigation system, bees will fly within a couple of hours.
