CLEANSING FLIGHTS
What is a cleansing flight? Honeybees can hold their stool for several weeks while waiting out the cold. On days warm enough to fly, bees take flight and relieve themselves. This is called a Cleansing Flight. The nice weather also gives the bees a chance to clean up around the hive.
