temperatures and inside hive temperatures are extremely similar. Although we humans rely on HVAC systems for our own comfort honey bees do the same with great precision. “From late winter to early autumn, the annual period of brood rearing by honey bee colonies, the temperature in the broodnest region of each colony’s hive is precisely regulated between 33ºC and 36ºC, averaging 34.5ºC and varying less than 1ºC across the day. This impressive temperature stability is accomplished through a set of mechanisms

American Oil beetles are a member of the Meloidae family, meaning these beetles have soft bodies and are oval shaped. Oil beetles can be found most anywhere on North America and their habitat includes places with little foliage. Since these beetles have soft bodies, they have a shell of overlapping panels that help to protect the beetle from predators. The colors of this beetle can range from shiny black to a dark blue.

Honey bee resources and survivability Honey bees are generalists. They can collect pollen from over 100 families of plants, and they have even been observed to collect pollen from the surfaces of vehicals (Danforth; vanEngelsdorp and Meixner, 2010). Yet they require a certain abundance and diversity of resources within a specific foraging range. Beekman and Ratnieks (2000) have shown that honey bees forage within a range of 0.5 km to 10 km, with an average range of 2.3 km. To some extent, foraging
