| Professor Tom Seeley Talk Wednesday 2nd September at 7.30pm Drum roll please…we are delighted to announce that Professor Tom Seeley will be our guest speaker at our next online session on Wednesday 2nd of September. Professor Seeley will be discussing ‘Hive Thirst – how does a honey bee colony regulate its water collection?’ and the following is an abstract of his talk. Water collection is essential to two parts of the physiology of a honey bee colony: thermoregulation of the brood nest and nutrition of the larvae. When overheating of the brood nest threatens on a hot day, a colony must increase its water intake. And when a colony is rearing brood but is not gathering much nectar, then it must boost its water intake to produce the watery (70-80% water) food for the larvae. We will look at how a colony’s water collectors precisely start and stop their collection of water as a colony’s need for water rises and falls.
