Whilst spending a few moments observing the comings and goings from the 
top entrances of the second boxes added to my colonies last week, I 
noticed something that I have not seen before !

A high percentage of bees leaving the hive quickly wiped over their 
antennae before launching off to where ever they were flying to.

Appeared too many to be just "chance activity" - but no figures at 
present to back up statement.

I am being observant in picking this up - or not very having just 
noticed it.

Is this occurring in other peoples colonies ?
If it is me who has first noticed the activity - then I claim it to be 
nominated as "Dillon's Wipe".

Yikes, possible fame at last.

Regards,
Peter
