In this episode, Jim explores the intriguing behavior of honey bees fanning at the hive entrance. What might seem like simple wing-flapping turns out to be a complex system of hive temperature and humidity regulation, vital for brood development and honey production. Jim dives into the mechanics of how bees strategically position themselves to create airflow, control brood nest temperature, and assist in the dehydration of nectar. He also examines how water foragers and fanning bees coordinate to keep the hive cool on hot days.

This episode offers fascinating insights into hive dynamics and the intricate ways bees maintain their environment. It’s a must-listen for anyone curious about the hidden processes within a beehive.
