Are Bees Out All Night? 



Query io6. — Do bees sometimes stay out in 

 the field all niy-lu ? Thisqueslion was prompted 

 by seeing' a bee heavily loaded with pollen Sept. 

 21, enter the hive about 4 o'clock a.m. — Ut.\h. 



J. A. Stone — Yes. 

 Mrs. L. Harrison — They do. 

 S. T. Pettit— Certainly they do. 

 Adrian Getaz— Yes, they do often. 

 E. France — Yes, very many of them. 

 Dr. J. P. H. Brown — Frequently they do. 

 P. H. Elwood — Yes, very often, in mild 

 weather. 



Eugene Secor— Occasionally, I think, but 

 not often. 



Mrs. J. M. Null— Undoubtedly, but not 

 voluntarily so. 



Chas Dadant ifc Son— Yes, they oftencdo. 

 in warm weather. 



O. O. Poppleton — Yes, especially during 

 a heavy honey-flow. 



J. A. Green— Not as a rule, and not in- 

 tentionally in any case. 



W. G. Larrabee — I have no positive proof 

 of it, but I think they do. 



J. M. Hambaugh — During warm weather 

 and a good honey-flow they will. 



R. L. Taylor— During the time of bass- 

 wood bloom they do to some extent. 



Emerson T. Abbott— According to my 

 observation bees frequently remain out 

 over night. 



J. E. Pond— I never knew or heard of 

 such an instance, and very much doubt if 

 such a thing were possible. 



A. F. Brown— No. It frequently does not 

 take a bee over li to S minutes to fly from 

 the hive and return with a load. 



Dr. A. B. Mason — Yes, I have often no- 

 ticed tbem on flowers in the morning before 

 any bees were leaving their hives. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— I have read that they 

 sometimes stay out over night, especially 

 when working on linden moonlight nights. 



C. H. Dihbern — Yes. very often, as they 

 often get belated or are caught by showers. 

 and in warm weather such bees will return 

 to their hives early the next morning. 



Prof. A. J. Cook— Yes. I have taken 

 bees on flowers, too chilled by evening air 

 to rejoin the hive. I think they found 

 home, or would have done so the next day. 



G. M. Doolittle— Did you have a lantern, 

 or what ? 'Tis •• pitch dark " here on Sept. 

 21 at 4 o'clock a.m.. and you could not see 

 a bee. say nothing about its loads of pollen. 



D. W. Heise— Yes. I have every reason to 

 believe they often do. when caught by 

 showers or storms. I could give instances 

 which led me to this belief, but think it not 

 necessary. 



Mrs. A. J. Barber — Yes. I have shut up 

 colonies after sunset, and even after dark, 

 to be moved the next day. and would find 

 bees on the screens at the entrances early 

 the next morning. 



R. C. Aikin— I guess not. unless as when 

 trapt in a honey-house or elsewhere. If out 

 it would not likely come loaded in the 

 morning unless it got loaded before be- 

 lated. They never stay out willingly. 



G. W. Demaree— It is not the habit of 

 the honeybee to lodge in the fields at night. 

 There are certain plants which the bees 

 visit for the nectar they secrete, and which 

 plants contain intoxicating qualities that 

 stupefy and overcome the bees, and cause
