Bees in the Tree

[Isac]

I have never seen bees make house in a crack in a tree but they have somehow managed to call it home.

I would love for someone to get one of those bendy camera's to look inside of a tree with a hive in it.
I would think the structure of it inside would be so interesting. I have seen some tree with a lot of Bee's about it.
But I can't get too close as they are very dangerous to my health.
Like how they are hard to see in number 1 shot and then to the closer up shots.

Great images too .... and the amazing thing is "how did the bees find that the tree was hollow enough for a hive to exist"?

Cheers Ralph. Bees don't bother me so I watched them up close for a while. They are really busy bees.

Thanks Phil. They seem to just know this stuff about building hives and making honey - clever little fellas.

Thanks David. Something a bit different I guess. They have only just migrated here in the last few days so they do get to work as soon as they rock up on site.

Ummm -- all worker bees are female, so maybe it needs to end "clever little gals / sheilas / chicks?
