Throughout winter, bumble bee queens lie buried underground in diapause, in a hibernation-like state, in a form of overwintering. But as snow melts and heavy rains soak the ground each spring those underground chambers fill with water, it was assumed that the bees who hadn’t yet awoken from their slumber, drowned. Now new research from the University of Ottawa shows that these queens can survive b...
