Are honeybees cold blooded?
Yes. They are know as poikilothermic which means their temperature is based on their surrounding environment. How ever there is a big exception in noting this. bees vibrate their bodies to generate heat. And a bee in flight can have a body temperature of 130F/54.4C. A solitary caught in a cold rain can end up unable to move because the surrounding temperature has become so cold that it can’t generate enough heat. In a colony, honeybees keep the temperature around 98F/37C.
