Coma chill thermal minimum measurement in bumblebees (Apidae)

Knowledge graph centered on Coma chill thermal minimum measurement in bumblebees (Apidae) with 15 nodes and 77 connections. Top connected: Bombus, Bombus terrestris, Bombus appositus, Bombus impatiens, B. appositus.

Method synopsis

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.
