Bees Went into Hibernation Early for the First Time in Years

As in the rest of the country, the early snowfall and the subsequent drop in temperatures in Elazığ positively affected the bees this year. The situation that has been experienced for years came to an end with the early snowfall. The average temperature dropping about 8 degrees with the snow caused the bee colonies to enter hibernation early. Elazığ Beekeepers Association President Chemist Fırat Canbay stated that the bee mortality rates in the colonies would drop to a minimum level and expressed that the bees would emerge from winter stronger and more resilient in the spring.
