What is the relationship between beekeeping and meteorology?

Meteorological conditions have different effects on the growth, honey secretion, pollen spitting and bee pollination of honey plants, the growth and development of individual bees, the activities of individual bees and groups, and the yield and quality of bee products.

In general, bees leave their nests according to the flow time of honey flowers. Some honey flowers must reach a certain temperature and light to start flowing honey, so the time for bees to collect different honey flowers will be different. Some honey source flowers have nectar as long as the sun shines, but bees can't fly out of their nests when the temperature is low, and they can't pick them until the temperature rises.

Therefore, beekeeping must pay attention to the weather changes, rain or shine may affect the activities of bees, and the temperature changes in the four seasons affect the management of bees. Special attention should be paid to climate change during the breeding period and the nectar source period. A sudden cold wave and a sudden shower may determine the success or failure of beekeeping.

Influence of Meteorological Change on Bees

Different bee species have different tempers, some are docile, some are irritable, and some love to sting. If the usual docile bees suddenly become irritable, can't open the hive, can't get close to the hive door and chase people, it proves that the weather is going to change suddenly and it may rain.

The mood of bees is related to air pressure. When the air pressure drops in rainy days, worker bees will go crazy, especially those old and strong bees, who will try their best to find someone to sting and jump into people's faces. It seems unreasonable, just want to die. Such worker bees are really annoying and scary.

In fact, worker bees chase people to sting people. Due to the influence of air pressure, it is likely to rain. Even if it doesn't rain, it will rain elsewhere. So bees are docile, and the weather is good when they are collected normally. If they become irritable and sting, the weather will get worse and the air pressure will change the temperament of worker bees. Don't blame the worker bees.
