In winter, honeybees form a living furnace! They huddle inside their hives, with worker bees vibrating to generate heat, keeping the queen at a cozy 90–100°F in the center. This bee cluster has a clever design, with a dense outer mantle for warmth and a loose inner core. As temperatures shift, they expand or contract like nature's own thermostat.

It's March, It's Spring LOL Yeah Okay 🌷❄😂

Bundled up against the biting cold of the north, it's a spring day like no other. The calendar says March, but the frosty air tells another story. Laughter echoes beneath layers of thermal wear, as the sun plays a game of hide and seek. 🌞❄😆🧣
