before the colony swarms and chooses to leave their hive and seek a new location like that umbrella.

The colony will actually choose to starve their queen and she will lose up to a third of her body weight to make her a better flyer.

So if that shows you just how inept she is.

So no, they will, I mean I've seen it too in the colony, they'll even chase her around and force her to exercise.

She's still losing weight. It's incredible.

Where's my attendees? I think I can do something.

Hi.

Hi.

Good morning here, good afternoon there. Thanks so much for making time.

I know you are on a bit of a break right now.

Yes, it's winter here so I tend to cycle my breaks with the bees.

Interesting.

They're not working right now too much either so it's a good time to take a break.

That is a perfect time.

I love, first of all, I just, I love what you're doing.

I love the videos that you're putting out.

I love how you're bringing people to a place of actually understanding and appreciating bees really.

In such a way that is so effective with social media and everything else,

my first experience with bees and frankly my only was when I was a kid.

I had a chance to go, my friend's dad was a beekeeper, one of many things that he did.

But I had a chance to go and spend a little time with them.

I just remember, I don't know how old I was, maybe eight years old or something like that.
