Northwest Alabama here, I want to personally THANK YOU for this video. The amount of time and dedication is beyond measure. Again, Thank you.
Nothing you can do!? Put your raincoat over them! Poor bee’s
31:55 you mean to tell me bees have a Morse code coordinate communication system by shaking their butts?!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
F spiders.
I am so in love obsessed with videos like this❤❤❤❤❤❤
Truly amazing and beautiful–more humans should take lessons from the bees.
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION–I would love to stand beside you as you were filming every beautiful display of the bees intelligence. Best Documentary I’ve ever watched, especially with such detailed movements of each bee species. I’m currently sitting on nearly 200 lb. of raw honey that I’ve purchased over the past year and a half, I could easily consume 1 lb. per day. Respectfully I began putting it into smaller jars to keep from eating so much. I say THANK YOU TO OUR BEE COLONIES & HOPE THEY CAN FORGIVE WE HUMANS FOR DESTROYING THEIR FOOD SOURCES & HABITATS THROUGH WHAT WE’VE CALLED “PROGRESS” FOR DECADES. Bees are true Masters of our planet, with the brain the size of a pin head no less. They are constantly continuing to give back more than they take. This is the definition of REAL LOVE, while the BEES THEMSELVES SHOW LOVE TO EACH OTHER. Bees are above the Human species in intelligence in many ways as shown in this video. Problem Reaction Solution, they have adapted and conquered the mission given them by our Creator. HEARTFELT BLESSING! I wish I could afford a bee box and a queen, I’ve wanted to extend my family for 2 decades +, however since I’m a grandma of 14 to 21 yrs.old –10 boys 1girl for years I could not acquire a hive as 1 of the grands is HIGHLY ALLERGIC to BEES. This granny kept the boys/girl busy their 1st 9yrs.near daily. Butterflies,Bees, & Birds! (I babysat) after those 9 yrs. not so much as their growing took them to after school programs. Although there are still many outings 99.9% outdoors attended in the family today, it is safe to say I graduated to being able to put a bee box in the backyard at 70yrs.young. Its just not in the finances to get started, maybe one day, but I’m still raising 1 grand 15yrs. old so ya’ll know what that does to a checkbook. However I will always enjoy every bee I see on the clovers in the yard or on the flowers. Those bees were part of the grands & I’ daily routine as we did our walk about through the yard during those 1st 9 yrs.. Neither they nor I have forgotten the moments of memories we gathered (many filmed), so many of the 3-B’s naturally. My daughter was afraid her son would be in serious medical danger if I had put out a Hive. (he never got stung at grandmas), however he took on many times of eyes swollen shut with blotched skin etc. from bee stings at other locations. Outdoor families playing together will sooner or later attract a difficult situation. When a child cannot attend school because of his allergy which was also(seemed to be just talking about poison ivy) as well as bee, then you have to consider safety first. The Allergy Specialist Dr. told me he was the best of his worst patients, with the least bit possible of bee venom during testing gave my grandson the worst allergic reaction. Butterflies, Bees,Birds
We recently watched both episodes and it was amazing! 🐝
