Only the most *seriously* hardened professional would *not*  enjoy
watching their bees in the early morning sun.  :-)
 
"What is so satisfying" is a very good question!  I like  watching
them  flying  to-and-fro  jus  going about their work, I like that
happy hum they make, I like the way the sun glints off them.   But
I don't know why I like these things.
