Walkers were shocked to discover a two-foot tall honeycomb made by bees poking out of a tree in Holly Hill Country Park, Fareham, Hants.

The reason why the walkers were shocked to find the honeycomb in the oak tree was because bees hibernate in February. Bees cannot survive the cold and hibernate until the weather is warmer, so don't make honeycomb this time of year. However, these busy bees have been working to build a honeycomb in the coldest weather we've had for years.

David Nield, vice chairman of the Hampshire Beekeepers Association, said: "To see bees working like this during such extreme weather is incredible. Wild bees as a species are normally very temperature conscious. They do not normally survive in the cold and would ordinarily be in hibernation waiting for when the weather warms up a bit. You only have to think about how often you see bees flying about when the weather is cold to realise how rare this is."

Experts think that because climate change is making the world colder lots of bees are dying. Meaning, the remaining bees need to be tougher and work harder in order to make enough honey for the colony to survive.
