The jew fears the indoor beekeeper

@Shadowman311 This makes me nervous seeing it to be honest. Cool but nervous.

@BowsacNoodle @Shadowman311 as long as they aren't the crazy killer bee made in a lab even if a few get out it's not gonna be a big deal. I wonder how the bees handle winter in a climate controlled environment though

Probably better than bees in an outdoor hive. Temperature regulation is a major challenge for wild bees.

@Eiregoat @BowsacNoodle @Shadowman311 they know what they are doing and it's pretty damn cool how they do it. I am more curious if they even recognize winter is here because if not they might go looking for food outside of the hive. I agree if they aren't thrown off by the temperate weather that they'd have a much easier time indoors.

I'm pretty sure they'd recognise it because of the outside temperatures and reduced daylight. Bees do their best to keep their hive at the same temperature year round so I don't think they rely on internal temperatures to recognise the seasons.
They still go outside during winter for their sanitation flights and also to dispose of dead bees.
