What do bees do while in the colder times?

One of my favorite things to do is to find hidden gem locales in the town that I live in and visit them, however i have found some great eating establishments and little artisan shops and art galleries.

I prefer supporting these small companies because they are the tploy backbone of our communities, but well in my quest to find my next adventure, I stumbled upon a nature preserve and critter rescue that was 10 hours away from my apartment that I had not heard about.

I instantaneously headed out to this nature preserve and when I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by the entire operation, then not only did this nature preserve rescue critters however it also had a honey farm on the premises, but this meant that there were tons of jars of honey for sale as well. The kind man from the office took the time to explain everything about the honey farm after I mentioned that he had a lot of honey for sale, then he explained that they had just harvested their honey for the Summer. She went on to say that they only harvest honey twice per year, and once in the Summer and the other in the Fall. I had never thought about it, however that would explain why I could never find a lot of raw honey while in the Winter weeks. Not only is the honey not harvested in the colder weeks, however the bees remain in their hives while in that time of year. They form clusters to stay moderate while in the Winter weeks and when the Spring comes around, they are back out continuing the pollination cycle. The nature preserve is doing great labor and I bought 3 bottles of honey because I wanted to have excess for when the Winter arrived.
