More Field work

Bees at the feeding station






 A short video showing the bees at the feeding station. I was lying under tree between testing as it was very hot in my bee suit. The sugar syrup ran out and the bees came and got me to refill it. This has happened a number of times since and has got me wondering who's training who?





This was one of my first times collecting bees from the pollen dispenser. I have the front blocked up so the bees will land on the front of the hive. They're really quick and if I don't, I will miss collecting the bees that I have marked with a dot of paint on their thorax. I was still a bit nervous at this stage but since this video, I have become very relaxed and calm.
