Bees fly in all direction including south.
despite the cold, the bees' home is a literal "beehive of activity" in which hundreds of workers frenetically fan their wings to generate heat that keeps the queen and her troops from freezing. Many workers eventually die from all this flapping, but a healthy hive that made enough honey in the warm months will survive winter's chill and liven up considerably when spring arrives

No, the worker that you see flying around during the summer all die in the fall and the breeding females hibernate under leaves, in wood piles or any place out of thew elements through the winter, then emerge in the spring and build new nests. Some nests may last through the winter if they grow huge and are extremely sheltered however

Bee's do not hibernate,they produce heat with their bodies.They keep the center of the hive between 94 to 96 degrees.It could be 20 to 30 below zero,the hive center will still be warm.The Queen starts laying eggs in January February,for new bee's for spring time.Bee's are one of the few insects that do not hibernate during winter.Honey is anti-bacterial,its been used to treat burn patients,to keep them from getting infections,because of the properties of honey.When bee's are introduced to a new hive they sterilize every square in of the inside of the hive.

No, bees do not fly south for or in the winter.
Honey bees are social animals that live in colonies. The colony is active inside during all seasons. They will fligh except on the coldest days and limit flight activity on rainy and cloudy days.

no bees dont fly south for the winter. thats y they have hives. they have to store their food (the honey) so that they can stay alive throughout the winter season

actually they usually hibernate in the hives and/or die...
a bees lifespan is very short. They multiply like crazy so are never out of abundance...
