I believe that bees in harsh climates survive just the same way. We have a barrel full of bees (It was an unused rainbarrel, closed on the top with one 4" hole in the side. A medium-sized swarm moved in one fine July day a few years ago, and have lived happily ever after) back home in Northern New Jersey, and during the winter, if you peer into the hive hole, you can see a clump of bees in the center of one of the honey- combs, tightly packed together. My father wraps the entire hive in fiberglass insulation and plastic weatherproofing when it gets really cold, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary. Bees lived for ages without us..... Still, they are almost part of my family, the way we talk about them... Lili Velez lv08@andrew.cmu.edu
