Full and active hive January 2020

One of my hives caught my eye today – there was a ton of activity at it. I thought at first “Uh oh, dead out being robbed”. But, on closer inspection it is simply a booming hive. This one will be an early split - I peaked inside and it is packed full of bees. Note the video is slow motion for first 10 seconds, speeds up to zoom in, and then a full minute of slow motion at the entrance. There is just something mesmerizing about watching honey bees in slow motion.
