Will Bee Cool disturb the brood?
No. As air is circulated around the brood, not through it, the bees will block some air flow as they regulate brood temperature. Of course, when temperatures drop, Bee Cool does not operate, and the colony can maintain temperature within the hive without interference. Fact: A limiting factor in honey production is the bees’ ability to dry nectar. From three pounds of nectar, the bees must evaporate about two pounds of water to produce about one pound of honey. Even at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and 50% relative humidity, the bees need about 1,700 cubic feet of air to evaporate each pound of water. Guess how many are needed when temperature and humidity are both over 80! Now with feeder hole and instructions in English, French, German, Italian, Arabic, and Hebrew. Bee Cool helps bees do their job. Hot, humid weather slows the honey-making process. Bee Cool protects hives from excess heat, humidity, and excess carbon dioxide. Bees work longer and harder. This is critical during seed-set. Com
