Had a look and I wonder if some of those "hot" bees were in fact foragers 
returning to the hive and were hot because of work?  I saw one doing a 
waggle dance.  I see that at one point it talks about a "heater" bee being 
topped up.  It could easily have been the other way in that it was a forager 
passing on its load to a hive bee.

Food for thought.
