The buzz on weather: How honeybees stay in tune with thunderstorms - The Weather Network

If you pay close attention, it's easy to see how in tune our premiere pollinator is with the weather.

Nocturnal thunderstorms were roaring all morning leading up to The Weather Network's visit to Backed by Bees. The honeybees knew that with all the rain, the flowers would be closed, pollen would be limited, and it was better to relax and stay close to the hive. Bees are very in tune with thunderstorms that way.
