The orientation flights are very interesting to watch. Many bees will come out of their home, float around infront of their home, facing it and looking at it, this lasts for a few minutes and then they go back inside. This can be repeated several times during a day. It is a very interesting thing to watch. When bees get close to the age where they are going to take on the duties of foragers, they perform these orientation flights. It is very important for the bees to know the location and direction of where they need to return to. Beautiful and great day, Cindi
