I was wondering if bees' behaviour outside the hive changes depending on humidity?
I understand lime trees produce nectar in humid weather, so maybe they forage more, and they may need to fan harder to evaporate nectar into honey. But are there other noticeable effects? More pollen collection? Calmer on humid days? Different flying pattern? More likely to swarm?
