Coma chill thermal minimum measurement in bumblebees (Apidae)

Local Knowledge Graph (7 entities)

Description

Bees are placed in glass vials within an insulated cooler containing ice and salt to achieve temperatures around -12°C until coma chill onset occurs, then recovery time is measured after return to normal temperature.

Typical Equipment

• insulated cooler
• glass vials
• thermocouple probe
• ice
• salt
• timer

Output Measurements

• critical thermal minimum temperature
• coma chill recovery time
