General Meeting; 7:00-8:30PM
Topic: Guest Speaker - Dr Tom Seeley
Hive thirst: how does a honey bee colony regulate its water collection?
Water collection is essential to two parts of the physiology of a honey bee colony: thermoregulation of the broodnest and nutrition of the larvae. When overheating of the broodnest threatens on a hot day, a colony must increase its water intake. And when a colony is rearing brood but is not gathering much nectar, then it must boost its water intake to produce the watery (70-80% water) food for the larvae. We will look at how a colony's hard-working water collectors precisely start and stop their collection of water as a colony's need for water rises and falls.
