Found this guy (or girl) sitting outside the give tonight when I went and checked on them. I think it was a bit too cold for him and he just stayed there because he couldn't make it into the hive. The temperature was about 54 degrees farenheit which is at the lower end of what is optimal for them. I helped him out though and put him in a safe spot in there so he didn't become bird food. Also, the species of bees I have are Japanese Orchard Bees.
So I saw this on Facebook last night. I did t have a chance to check the hive last night so tonight, I went out and checked it. I still have 2 bees hanging in there. Hopefully they will lay some more eggs and help produce another healthy generation next year.
