I've got my hands on a little Canon mini video maker, or whatever you call them. Gotta figure out how to work it now. Then I can film some cool stuff ~  ;)

LOL!  Should be some interesting vids!   ;D
   When my hives are orienting my wife is terrified to get near them..  Over 30 hives in one spot (Not much longer) makes for a pretty loud roar..   She gets pretty jumpy when I walk into the middle of that...   Last time I did it I started yelling and ran back toward her.. she screamed and ran for the house..   I laughed so hard I had tears...  Unfortunately she wont even come out to the hives now...

 :D  So funny isn't it, how some people can stand in the middle of a swarm and feel the magic. I now have my granddaughter putting her hand near a blade of grass and letting a bee crawl onto her finger. Soo Cool!
