July 15, 2024
pollinate at temperatures as low as 3-4C (37-39F), they tend to stay within 100m of the colony at these low temperatures. As temperatures climb into more [...] they will fly earlier in the season, earlier and later each day, as well as in adverse weather conditions like rain and overcast skies. Bumblebees will [...] (pile). Commercially reared bumblebee species will forage at temperatures as low as 3-4C (37-39F) and will reliably pollinate crops starting around 10C (50F)
