What is Bearding? ๐Ÿ๐Ÿง”๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

To keep their honey at the correct temperature & allow for airflow to the hive, bees may cluster on the front of the hive, helping ๏ฟผthe internal temperature stay cool. This often resembles a fuzzy beard. They may even fan their wings to push air into the hive on those hot summer days ๐Ÿฅต

A worker bee born in the summer lives approximately 40 days, visits 1000 flowers, and produces less than 1 tablespoon of honey. For us, it's a tablespoon of honey. For the bee, itโ€™s their lifeโ€™s work ๐Ÿ๐Ÿฏ

Letโ€™s learn about Queen spotting ๐Ÿ‘‘ How do we identify her among thousands of worker bees?

The Queen is typically slightly larger than a worker bee with a long abdomen. Since itโ€™s her job to lay eggs, youโ€™ll likely find her in the nursery among brood.

In the photo below, the Queen was easily distinguishable, as she was marked with a pink spot. However, this is not always the case, so beekeepers must be aware of how to identify her.
