1st Days of Spring Landing Board and Front Entrance Behaviors

I filmed some landing board and front entrace activity of a few of my hives today. It is truly the warmest of three days since fall the bees have been able to stretch their legs. Some behaviors I recognized and others I didn't. Thought this would be a good thread for those curious about what they are seeing in their yard. I love watching my bees. I feel like it is one of best perks of keeping them. Enjoy.

Nice Blue!
I wanted to get some vid of bees returning camouflaged as powdered donuts from the pollen sub i have out.. ran out of time, maybe next week.
Thanks for the vids!! Always enjoy them!

Thanks River, I never knew insects could have such personalities. Previously to keeping bees, I only thought they flew around to flowers and my sweets and stung people. They have behaviors more complicated than domesticated pets.
