I’m curious to the biological reason, because often I’ll see bee’s when the sun has gone down that just stay hunched down waiting for the next dawn to move.
In: Biology
A lot of biological processes happen more quickly at higher temperatures (up to a certain point at which point the temperature will destroy these processes).
So called cold blooded animals can’t maintain their internal temperatures and so they rely on the environment to warm them up. When it’s warm their biological processes run faster which gives them more energy. When it’s cold and they’re cold then those processes run more slowly and so they have less energy to work with.
The reason these biological processes run more quickly at higher temperatures are because they’re chemical reactions and chemical reactions speed up as the temperature goes up because the atoms, etc in the reaction are moving around quicker and so interact with each other more often.
