Honeybee Democracy, T.Seeley, Chpt 7
Manage episode 287741265 series 2790516
Hello hello! This week, I am covering Chapter 7 of Honeybee Democracy, which is all about the swarm's final flight home. Have you ever wondered how a honeybee swarm manages to take flight all at once, as one great cloud of bees? What allows 10 thousand plus bees to take off as one cohesive unit? What signals to them to prepare for flight? You're about to find out!
Please see my website for a rundown of everything discussed, as well as some nifty photos.
And please check out Mid-Ohio Waterfowl Rescue; a wonderful organisation that saves domestic and wild waterfowl in Ohio, and who took in the two abandoned ducklings that I found by a canal last week.
Thanks for listening!
