I checked out the bees while I was home for lunch today. The sun was shining and it was 19 degrees Celsius in the backyard. I’ve never seen so many bees outside Hive #1. I could smell the honey, or the pheromones from the bees, from a distance. I could hear them from a distance too. Here’s a quick video:

I assume they’re just really healthy bees and not bees getting ready to swarm.



Hi Philip
They could be baby bees orientating themselves, they tend to do this so they know their way home ! Lovely blog, I`m enjoying reading about your `bee` adventures !
I know, it’s mostly just baby bees orientating themselves to the hive. I’ve learned to recognize that now. All the baby bees hovering around the entrance. Then they usually drop all of a sudden and take a while to get up. But I’ve never seen so many before. It was impressive.
