Hi Stephen & all

I can confirm Stephen's observations...
On one occasion the bees were streaming between the hives in a very narrow
corridor, almost like a flow of liquid in an imaginary pipeline. The mid
point was narrower than the ends and they mostly went straight into the
receiving hive, with very little build up of clustering bees.

The whole action was only a minute or so (I did not keep accurate count) and
the whole episode looked rather like an animated cartoon, or at least how a
cartoon might illustrate such an event.
