Reinbeau's Bit of Earth: Video Uploaded!

[reinbeau]

I've never uploaded anything to YouTube, but I did tonight. It's a video of an orientation flight outside of Hive #1, at first I thought it was swarming, but no, it was just a bunch of new bees learning how to get back home. You can hear the rooster and one of my BR hens in the background, and see the hive set up we have. clicky!

Wow, that was really neat to see. So just baby bees stretching their wings and learning where they live?

Very interesting!!

Great video! The sound really came through nice.

Very glad they weren't swarming!

That is great. Thanks for posting. And I love that rooster crowing in the background. He sounds so.....king of the yard.

Ha! He thinks he is, but in reality he's an EE bantam. He doesn't know he's small, though!

Wow, cool! I did not know bees did that. I guess it's rather like flyer's ed for bees.
