Emperor Penguins and Honey Bees

Both have adapted amazing ways of keeping warm.

When temperatures drop below 10c honey bees start to form a tight cluster to keep warm. The centre of the cluster is where the queen is found, and here, the temperature is maintained around the 32c-37c mark. Heat is generated by bees inside the cluster vibrating their wing muscles, a bit like shivering. This requires energy which the honey they have stored provides.

Emperor penguins similarly form a huddle which keeps the huddle temperate at around 37c and also move to ensure no single member overheats or gets too cold.

Amazing adaptation to the environment. Be interesting to learn how other animals keep warm? ... See more

We really don't like anything going to landfill, so we re-use packaging material as much as possible. Thanks to Adrienne @stoneminimarket for passing on this foam which can be used again when you receive your delivery of honey. Everything else, including our tape is recyclable.
