  The challenge of hot temperatures We understand the vital role that bumblebees play in pollination , especially in hot temperature conditions. As temperatures [...] maintain a temperature of 28°C inside the hive in any environmental conditions. Above 28°C the pollination capacity is reduced as their activity is focused [...] temperatures inside the hive lower.
