I've heard about dog and other animals acting strange or going missing before an earthquake.
Has anyone observed or heard stories of earthquakes affecting honey bees?
Just curious.

I found reference to a book written in 1996 "Ted Miller's Earthquake Prediction Handbook" claiming that: "Bees have been seen evacuating their hive in a panic, minutes before an earthquake, and then not returning until fifteen minutes after the quake ended. Even creatures such as millipedes, leeches, squid, and ants have been reported to exhibit abnormal behavior prior to earthquakes." http://users.lycaeum.org/~maverick/quake.htmThere is also an article on the Caltech website that mentions bees swarming before an earthquake: "For many organisms, behavioral action taken prior to an earthquake could reduce mortality: fish and cetaceans leaving coastal zones, rodents exiting from collapsible burrows or dwellings, bees swarming, parents delaying egg-laying, etc." Earthquake Prediction by Animals: Evolution and Sensory Perception http://www.gps.caltech.edu/~jkirschvink/pdfs/earthquakeprediction.pdf |

When bees swarm, they have decided that happening 2 weeks ealier when the queen lays into queen cells. I have wondered that what signal they get when several hives start to do same things. . |

It is like corn circles. Even if 2 men told 1991 how they have done them, today we still look TV programs how aliens have done them and they are some energy centres.

When bees swarm, they have decided that happening 2 weeks ealier when the queen lays into queen cells. sure, but i have wondered if timing was influenced by weather, specifically the pressure changes. otherwise, it seems like a dumb time to swarm right when a t-storm is coming. it might be wise time to get out of the way if a tornado were coming. that's also preceded by pressure change. |
