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? >From: Bob Webster <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Re: Bees in Backcountry >Date: 20 Aug 1995 02:45:27 GMT >I've seen honeybees above 13,000 feet on flowers.
