Hives in winter
The hives will soon form a ‘bunch’ of thermal protection to take care of the queen and her offspring (in the Northern Hemisphere).
To maintain the necessary temperature, the bees inside the cluster generate heat. With the aim that the temperature at that point is between 25 and 35 degrees. On the other hand, the bees on the surface make an insulating layer between 2.5 and 7.5 cm. Maintaining a temperature of between 6 and 9 degrees. But below 6 degrees, these bees from the periphery would die. For this reason, every time there is a change of shift among the most adult. The older bees will always be on the periphery, many of which will die to keep the others warm.
