One would have to assume some vibration and movement is normal for the bees
when in a natural home such as a tree. Anyone sitting in a tree stand on a
windy day can attest to the great sways of the tree, even in a tree hollow
lower to the ground with little to no movement, the constant movement and
rusting of the limbs and leaves create a vibration of low amplitude.
So while I would assume flight activity to resume, I do find the
distinctive difference in defensiveness interesting... makes me want to
start hanging my hives by ropes from the trees... maybe I can market a "bee
hammock" on a "go fund me " site... I could sell it as mimicking the bees
natural hive movements in a tree with citing your observation of the bees
being so much calmer ( and by extention so much happier) when moving a bit
each day... I could even make it organic via hemp fiber rope...
Think I can get on Shark Tank ?
