Bee Behaviors
« on: Today at 09:48:19 am »
The waggle dance is pretty well known as a method of communicating a few different things to the colony but what other behaviors are there that bees partake in?

My mentor showed me how some of them whip the others to work in the morning and get them started. I've noticed that once the sun comes up, it looks like some of them take a brief flight to test current conditions and determine if it's time to get moving or not. Once it reaches about 50F, activity starts to pick up but it's kind of light until it warms up a little more.

What else do they do?
