They simply get out and/or do other things to cool off their colony (fanning, carrying extra water, etc.). It has been hot here in Virginia also, but I have not seen my bees dieying.Sounds to me like your bees got into some kind toxic substance, food, etc. Is this a generalized situation in all of your colonies, or just colony? This was not clear to me. It does not sound like disease either. Signs of disease are more evident than what you are describing, especially when there is excitement to go with it. I am curious. Could you tell me more. Other signs or symptoms that you might have seen. Do not omit anything. What might look silly to you might be important to me, if you catch my drift. Talk to you later (I hope). Best regards. Dr. Rodriguez Virginia Beach, VA
