And it?s really amazing that the bees know. Does anyone know what brand of wrist watch that they wear?
They know the tiniest changes, too. Colony attitude a couple weeks after winter solstice is a complete change from a couple weeks before, even though the day length is the same, the direction of the tiny change is opposite, and they are stimulated.
Me too, incidentally. I look in my history of purchases at the garden seed catalog and it's always two or three weeks after solstice.
