I hope so, because then we need do nothing. If they are indeed honey bound, we're in a bit of a bind. Comb manipulation would be too risky right now. The warm, fragile wax combs can break too easily, and we'd either have a sticky mess on our hands or, worse, a destroyed nursery.
When meteoroids intersect with Earth's atmosphere at night, they are likely to become visible as meteors. If meteoroids survive the entry through the atmosphere and reach Earth's surface, they are called meteorites. Meteorites are transformed in structure and chemistry by the heat of entry and force of impact.
1 Millions of meteoroids travel through Earthâs atmosphere each day. 2  When a meteor encounters our atmosphere and is vaporized, it leaves behind a trail. 3  That âburningâ meteoroid is called a meteor. 4  The appearance of a number of meteors occurring in the same part of the sky over a period of time is called âmeteor showerâ.
