    Do bees hibernate?

    Question #110970. Asked by unclerick. (Nov 22 09 9:41 PM)

    		No, bees over winter as a strong colony clustered together and using their bodies to generate heat. This cluster is about the size of football, with bees taking turns to be on the cold outside.

    		There are about 20,000 different kinds of bees. There are social bees and solitary bees. Social bees live in groups called colonies with lots of other bees. Solitary bees live alone.
    Bees spend about ten months a year just sitting in the ground as larvae and doing nothing. They are only active about two months of the whole year--when they are very young and when they are an adult.
    The rest of the year they are hibernating to get out of cold weather when flowers don't grow or estivating to get away from very hot, dry weather.
