How do honey bees survive winter? Though most bees and wasps do hibernate during the winter, honey bees can survive cold winters. In the insect world, there are multiple strategies that insects, like bees, can use to survive winter, which include “hibernation” and diapause. In some bee ...

and beetles. Skunks love honeybees and will attack a honeybee hive with relish. Their thick fur protects them from stings, and they will eat both adult bees, larvae, and honeycomb. They also frequently dig up and devour hornet and wasp nests, again targeting both the adults and larvae. Out...
Wasps such as the Bald-faced Hornet only consume nectar and fruit juice. Yellow Jackets, on the other hand, will eat just about all ‘human food’. Since wasps enjoy sweet food they often invade honey bee nests to steal the honey and sometimes the bee larvae. As a result of this sweet...

Both honeybees and bumblebees learn colours quickly when they are rewarded according to colour choice (Heinrich et al. 1977; Gumbert 2000; Ings et al. 2009). Recent work has also indicated that the strength of innate colour preferences can influence foraging performance in bumblebees under ...
Honey bees will also use this “heat balling” technique to kill the queen when necessary, such as when the queen is no longer capable of performing her duties and a new queen is installed. This is often called “Cuddle death”.
