Here's a photo. I hope it comes through.  If you look closely, their
posture is the same as that of the guards at the entrance.  They're not
tending brood, they're not packing pollen they're not gorging on honey.
They're watching you.  African guards at the entrance will all turn their
bodies to watch you as you walk across the front of the hive.  It's very
distinctive.
