Thermoregulation of water foraging honeybees—Balancing of endothermic activity with radiative heat gain and functional requirements

Foraging honeybees are subjected to considerable variations of microclimatic conditions challenging their thermoregulatory ability. Solar heat is a gain in the cold but may be a burden in the heat. We investigated the balancing of endothermic activity with radiative heat gain and physiological funct...
