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
