For Freeper Beekeepers...we have a few. Wasn't sure where to post it.
Nice to see a science article devoid of any reference to the lies of AL Gore.

“Heater bees”?
I had no idea bees had hot flashes.
Definitely heats up the bed....
Enough of them, the hive?

Interesting!!
Someone is going to have to remake that documentary “Secret Life of Bee’s” now.

Wing decoupling, very interesting. It would be interesting to find out why the heater bees don’t cook themselves.

Fascinating. Thanks for posting.
"The scientists discovered that the heater bees work to subtly change the temperature of each developing pupae by around a degree and this small change determines what kind of honey bee it will become."
There is a striking similarity with the description of the "hatchery" in "Brave New World".

Heat is how Japanese honey bees kill the Japanese giant hornet—they swarm the hornet when it invades the nest and vibrate, the bees can withstand a few higher degrees than the hornet. European honey bees just get slaughtered.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Proof-positive that AGW is really Apiarogenic Global Warrming; NOT Anthropogenic Global Warming!
Now, if this isn’t exactly the bee’s knees, it is still a honey of a story for us gardening types, who depend upon these gals to do their jobs effectively.

heater bees work to subtly change the temperature of each developing pupae by around a degree and this small change determines what kind of honey bee it will become. How do they know how many of what type of bee to create? Is it seasonal maybe?

OK, so are heater bees born or are they assigned the job? If they are born, what causes that? Do their pupae have to be kept at a particular temperature? Do they have to get the food for the extra energy themselves or do other bees deliver it to them? Etc.
Maybe these answers aren’t known yet, but reporters are good at not asking probing science questions.
Each bee in the hive needs a miniature TV camera attached to its head to we can see what is going on in there.
And, I hate to do this, but will global warming make all of the bees into foragers and then there would be no more housekeepers to take care of the larvae and clean the nest? Or will the government take care of that job for them?

The fact that some bees have a higher temperature than others is very old news. It is in fact common knowledge
In the winter when the colony is inactive:
The bees at the center of the cluster are warmer than those on the outside. As the temperature of those on the outside gets too cold, the warm bees move outward. The bee temp from the center of the cluster to the outside is continuously variable.
Honey is the fuel that provides the body temp
