February Brings Cleaning, Pruning Chores
2002
Overview
[Ken Garrison] said bees produce an average of 56 pounds of honey per hive a year in New Mexico, with each hive housing from 80,000 to 90,000 bees by late summer. Worker bees live only 21 days; they literally wear their wings out gathering pollen. They live longer in the winter, but still, hive population dwindles over the winter. By February the population is at its lowest, with only 900 or so bees left. During cold weather, bees cluster together to keep the interior temperature of the hive a constant 93 degrees. When the air temperature outside gets up to 58 degrees, bees start flying again, collecting pollen.
