Haveyouever wondered?

Where Do Bees Go to Sleep in the Winter?

By John Mola

Ever walk through your favorite park in Fort Collins and hear the buzzing of bees and wonder“where do they go all winter?”

Ever see a gangly pile of twigs and dead flower heads in the park and wonder“why is that so messy?”

Well, the answer to these two questions is closely related. Those leftover stems, leaves, and tumbled down grass are critically important homes for wild, native bees and other beneficial insects to spend the winter.

Unlike the familiar (and non-native) European Honeybee (Apis mellifera), whose beekeepers work diligently to keep them safe and warm over the winter, native bees create their own winter homes and have a variety of adaptations to make it through the hungry months.

What are native bees?

To understand where these bees go in the winter, it helps to know a little bit more about who they are and what their lives look like the rest of the year. There are over 20,000 native bee species around the world. In Colorado, there are just over 1,000 native species. Simplistically, we can divide these into small, solitary bees like sweat bees and mason bees and large, social species like bumble bees.

Solitary bees make their nests over a few short weeks with different species being active at different times throughout the season. These bees work hard to fill small nests underground, in stems, or in bits of woody debris. They pack in pollen and lay their eggs on top. These eggs consume the pollen and become adult bees, but they don’t emerge until the following year. As such, those stems, flower heads, and leaves that pile up in the fall are critically important materials for these bees to stay warm and protected over the winter.

So, where do solitary bees overwinter?

Where their mom left them. Leaving twigs, bits of logs, or bare soil is really important to not disturb their nesting and overwintering sites.

What about big fuzzy bumble bees? Where do they go in the winter?

Bumble bees have a bit more complicated life cycle. Most of the bees we see throughout the summer are workers.

But these workers only live for a few short weeks. At the end of the season, bumble bee colonies produce queens. These large, well-fed females mate with males before going to sleep for the winter. There is variation among species, but it seems common that these bumble bees sleep for 6-8 months of the year in soft, friable soil or decomposing logs. In parks or gardens, leaving compost piles, leaf piles, or soils underneath trees undisturbed can help them have a restful winter ready to emerge in April and May.

What does the Fort Collins Parks Department do, and what can I do at home, to support native bees in winter?

In Fort Collins parks there are efforts underway to convert more areas to native wildflower plantings and to leave overwintering habitat for bees through the cold season. If you’d like to see some examples of pollinator gardens in the community, Sugar Beet Park and Spring Canyon Community Park both have designated pollinator gardens.

You can help create winter habitats for pollinators in your own backyard. Read more about actions you can take like “leaving the leaves” and gardening for pollinators in the City of Fort Collins Nature in the City Design Guide: fcgov.com/natureinthecity.

Your adopted animal stays at The Farm where it is cared for by Farm staff and welcomes your visit regularly. For all practical purposes, some of the animals are sold when they reach maturity. For more information and to fill out an adoption form, visit fcgov.com/thefarm.

Don’t forget to visit The Ross Proving-Up House and learn about homesteading in early Fort Collins.

LEARN TO SKATE

NEW! Learn to Skate USA Enrollment Process

Anyone enrolled in the Learn to Skate program at EPIC will officially have a membership in the United States Figure Skating (USFS) program. Additional information available during Learn to Skate programs and online at learntoskateusa.com.

Learn to Skate Policies

• Lessons are taught by Certified Professional Skater Association (P.S.A.) instructors and are in compliance with the United States Figure Skating Association.

• Parents may observe lessons from the upstairs bleachers; it is distracting and creates an obstruction for skaters and coaches to have parents at the gate or in the hockey boxes.

• Parents are welcome to skate with their child during the 15-minute practice time. Individuals are not allowed on the ice with their shoes on. EPIC’s rental skates are available free of charge during this time.

• The student to instructor ratio is one instructor for every 10 students. Any Snowplow Sam, Basic 1, or Basic 2 classes greater than 10 students include an additional assistant. Minimum for classes is five students; class levels may be combined to meet this minimum.

• Skating lessons are 30-minutes with a 15-minute practice time, which may be before or after the lesson depending on scheduling.

• Instructors have time in between classes to talk to parents and address their concerns. Be aware that some levels need to be repeated to master skills. Please discuss any concerns with your coach.

• If you are unable to attend the last day of classes for testing, request a progress card from your coach on the last day you attend.

Proper Attire Includes

• Helmet (not provided; required for Snowplow Sam 1-4, and strongly recommended for beginners)

• Gloves (thin, not ski mittens)

• Fleece or light weight jacket

• Skating dresses with tights or leggings/pants that are easy to move in

• Loose or bulky clothing is not recommended

SPORTS

Things to Know

• Teams are split up by staff at random, not by special requests, or registration dates. Special requests are not guaranteed.

• Coach meetings are scheduled 1-2 weeks before the program start date. Coaches contact teams directly to establish practice dates and times after the coach meeting.

• Tournaments are only played in the middle school divisions of all leagues as well as intermediate leagues.

• Teams practice 1-2 times per week based on availability. Two weeks of practice will be held prior to the first game.

• Outdoor leagues practice on a first come, first served basis at the location (or nearby park with approval from Recreation Staff) indicated when registering.

• Indoor leagues scheduled practice times and locations are determined by staff prior to the season. In the event of gym cancelations, teams may practice at locations that differ from registration site.

Inclusion

The City of Fort Collins is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive sport environment. We invite individuals to participate in accordance with their asserted gender identity.

Youth Sports Philosophy

The leagues offered by the Recreation Department are intended to be developmental in nature, where learning the skills of the sport and having fun are paramount and winning is secondary. We ask that all adults involved, coaches, parents/guardians, and other fans keep this in mind when attending practices and games.

Coaching Criteria

All youth sports coaches must know the fundamentals and rules of the sport for which they are coaching. Coach trainings are offered to volunteers; volunteer coaches are expected to attend these meetings to enhance coaching abilities and know the rules and philosophy of the program.

All youth sport coaches who volunteer with the City of Fort Collins must participate in a background check conducted by the City on an annual basis and complete a concussion certification before being approved to coach in any youth sport league. Background checks remain confidential and are valid for one year. Individuals are not permitted to volunteer/instruct until a completed background check has been received and approved by the City of Fort Collins. The City of Fort Collins reserves the right to deny anyone the ability to coach based on the results found in the background check, or any coach that the City does not believe will follow our recreational philosophies.

Volunteer coaches are expected to always act in the best interests of young athletes and must agree to follow the guidelines and polices of the City of Fort Collins Recreation Department.

For more information about coaching, call 970-416-4280.

Typical camp activities such as songs, games, crafts, science, and sports are coupled with guest visitors, trips to outdoor parks, swimming, and an introduction to a variety of recreational activities. Cost of weekly field trips are included in camp fees for all age groups. Families must provide a peanut-free sack lunch, two healthy snacks, a water bottle, and appropriate clothing/ gear for outdoor play each day.
