Bathroom break ?
« on: May 24, 2017, 03:52:44 pm »
It rained all day yesterday,  it's 3:00 in afternoon today expected to rain another 8 hrs. starting soon look out window and bees going crazy at one hive. Is this orientation or cleansing flight ? No fighting in front, but boy howdy they're loud.

Too new to answer your question, but I'm in the same weather system as you are (Columbia SC). Ready for some sun!

He's bred to be a pointer/retriever. The breed is Bracco Italiano and is similar to a German Shorthair. I don't hunt, so he's a running partner and tennis ball chaser.

great pix mikey!

my guess is orientation (from your time description), two times of the day we will see this: mid morning and mid afternoon............but maybe they were tired of being cooped up from the rain!............... :D

orientation flights........if you see them flying out, doing circle flights facing the hive, just orientation and getting their gps going.
