A friend told me of a commercial beekeeper he knows in the northern Plains,
whose colonies were killed by excessive heat. The temps got to 115F or
higher. In mid day, the bees boiled out of their colonies, and died on the
ground. Seems he lost nearly every colony.
Has anyone else heard of this tragic event?
