Time flies when you're bumblin': Bumble bees focus of survey in Roaring Fork Valley
When a bumble bee emerges from torpor, it repeatedly rubs its arms over its head and flexes its abdomen. It’s a half-stretch, half-dance move that warms the bee up and out of the state of decreased physiological activity. A few dozen bees found themselves doing that dance Wednesday morning after wildlife technicians from the district conducted a bumble bee survey on forest land between Carbondale and Glenwood Springs.
