At what temperature do bees end their hibernation?

Bees do not hibernate. Bees are temperature-changing insects. If the temperature is higher than 24 degrees, they will come out and move.

Cold weather and low temperature in the hive are not good for bees, because bees are warm animals, and their body temperature changes with the temperature of the surrounding environment. When the temperature in the hive is as low as 65438 03℃, they are close to each other in the hive and form spherical clusters. The lower the temperature, the closer the colony is, which reduces the surface area and increases the density of bee colony to prevent excessive cooling.

According to the measurement, in the coldest time, the temperature in the bee ball can still be maintained at around 24℃. At the same time, they also use more honey and exercise to generate heat to raise the temperature in the hive.

In cold weather, the surface temperature of the bee ball is lower than the center of the ball. At this time, the bees on the surface of the bee ball drill to the center of the ball, while the bees in the center of the ball move outward. They took care of each other, changed places repeatedly and spent the cold winter.
