Jan 21st, 2018 : Arctic Bees
Science is learning new things all the time, sometimes new discoveries by leaps and bounds, and sometimes relearning to duck and cover thy grant.
This article is pretty flowery but explains the Life of an Arctic Queen Bee. Quote:
Quote:
Bombus polaris and Bombus hyperboreus were thought to be the two who had adapted to the Arctic life, but now Bombus glacialis has be proven to not be a subspecies but a separate species. This raises the question of why? Instead of all the evolution why not hitchhike to warmer climes? There maybe another reason for this species. Where they hang out, Novaya Zemlya, has been used for Russian Nuclear tests for decades. Not beyond the realm of possibility that the Big Bada Booms had an effect. link

Cool creature. Thanks Bruce!
Honey bees only mate one time, with multiple partners, in their lives. They probably have an interesting system as well.

I don't know anything about bee sperm, but I do know that a rooster's sperm remains viable in a hen for two to four weeks. Maybe the queen bee can store sperm sort of like hens do?
