Thermoregulation of the Honeybee
Thermoregulation of the honeybee, looks at how the both the honeybee and the whole colony keeps warm or cool during the seasons. As beekeepers we can help or hinder our bees and Keith’s talk offers a number of different practical techniques in relation to thermoregulation during different times of the beekeeping year.
Keith is a former Seasonal Bee Inspector for the North East of England. He lives in North Yorkshire just outside of Bedale and is a Master Beekeeper, BBKA examiner, BBKA exam board member and an active member of the Richmond and District Beekeeping Association. Currently, he manages twenty colonies mostly using 14 x 12 hives.
