"The bees need to keep the cluster's core between 93 and 96 Fahrenheit (around 35 Celsius). The very lowest the cluster's center can drop to is 55F (13C). Lower than this and you have a dead hive. Different sources offer different exact temperatures, but they are all in the same ballpark. The numbers here are drawn from internet searches, and from "The Biology of The Honey Bee", by Mark L. Winston (a fabulous book and fun to read)."
The joke flew right over your head like a bumble bee in a hurricane. :lol: ;-)
Okay. I think everyone missed the "joke". There was no indication in what you wrote that you were joking.
You gotta be joking.
