Collecting while the collecting is still good. The current oppressive heat and approaching fall will start taking its toll before we know it (I am sure that Walmart is about to put up its Christmas trees). When the temperature drops below 10 degrees C (50 degree F), the queen and the worker honey bees form a thermoregulating cluster known as a winter cluster. Unfortunately, the natural life cycle of bumblebees means that only the queens survive while the rest of the colony succumbed to the cold temperature.
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
