Can cold  be transmitted?



Ok, I was careless with my terminology.  I believe I should have said,  
honey conducts cold, is a poor insulator.
 
Our Infra-red imaging indicates that honey acts like a sink for heat or  
cold, depending on time of year.
 
Its appears to be as 'hot' as the bee colony core in the summer,  gets icy 
cold in winter.
 
Open/empty cells, with a 'wall' composed of the wax foundation sheet on one 
 side, bee bodies pressed up against the other, has the characteristics of 
a dead  air space insulator.
