[Mitarbeiter.zoologie] Re.: dead honey bees in incubator

[Robert Paxton]

Dear All,

I am helping Emma feed caged honey bees located in the Memmert Incubator. We have found two cages of dead honey bees in the incubator that do not belong to Emma and that are beginning to smell. The bees probably starved (empty feeder). Neither cage is labelled, though one has white tape on it and the other yellow tape. Firstly, if the cage is yours and you want the dead bees, see me. Secondly, if you keep bees in cages in an incubator, ensure they have enough food to survive till you next visit them. Do not leave them to die (and decompose) within the incubator. 

Thank you,

Robert
