Summary

[edit]
Description
English: I started beekeeping last year and am happy to report the bees have come through their first winter. Unseasonal weather at the moment in the UK (Feb 21) and the bees are loving it. So I popped out to the hive and recorded them today in slow motion.

I find it fascinating, watching them bustling into each other and bringing back loads of pollen (around the 2’50” mark you can see two of the bees collide mid-air).

After seeing how busy they were at the entrance I made the decision to remove the mouse guard, though I am keeping the entrance reduced. I wasn’t planning on removing the mouse guard so soon but given the unseasonal weather I decided to.
