Hi all
We were talking a while back about keeping bees in confinement. I thought this was interesting:
> We have at present a colony of Bees in a room kept constantly warmed up to from 50° to 60°. In spite of food, pollen, etc., and a wire-cloth house to fly in, we cannot induce healthy brood rearing; but the Bees seem to be dying off every day, much faster, indeed, than those in the Bee house at about 40°.— We have had them thus for about three weeks. Although the queen lays eggs, no brood appears. The confinement seems to be very objectionable. They alight on the wire-cloth boundaries of their prison, and many will not voluntarily go back even at night.
