Are you curious about how bees communicate when finding a new home? This video captures an incredible artificial swarm demonstrating exactly that! On July 27th and 28th at the first annual Pacific Northwest Treatment Free Beekeeping Conference at Pacific University, Dr. Seeley of Cornell University provided demonstrations of an artificial swarm on a board as outlined in his book, Honeybee Democracy. This is a video of that exact artificial swarm! If you look closely, you can see many bees in the process of dancing to communicate potential nesting sites to the other scouts. It is a fantastic look at the fascinating ways a colony works together to establish a new home. If you are ready to start your own beekeeping journey, we have exactly what you need.
