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.
