First the answers from the trivia contest:
1. What time of day did Rome travel with his bees?
During the night.
2. Why then?
The bees are quiet at night. They get active as the sun warms the hives.
3. Why do some bees stay close to the entrance of the hive?
They guard the hive.
4. Can bees survive cold winters?
Yes! That’s what the honey is for. Think of it as a bee’s pantry.
5. What is the year-round temperature inside of a beehive?
Roughly 94 degrees. A wonder!
AND BONUS Super Duper Trivia Questions
1. What kind of bees did Rome have? Why was that type of bee significant to Rome?
His mother had raised brown bees. They were the only things he kept from his family farm in Ohio.
2. What does Suzanne’s husband, Steve, love to do in his spare time?
Make amazingly good vanilla ice cream! (He makes other flavors, too, but he’s VERY determined to make the world’s best vanilla ice cream. He says that you can hide flaws in other flavors, but not vanilla. It’s too pure.)
