The Shortest Day

Season 2 Episode 9: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast – The Shortest Day

What do bees do on the shortest day of the year? We take a quick look at the state of affairs of bumble bees, after turning their blood into antifreeze and entering a suspended animation under the snow, and then honey bees, clustered up tightly in a snug bug ball, vibrating their detatched wing muscles.
