High speed video shows air conditioning bees fanning in unison to draw up hot air from within the hive. In 20 minutes real time, the bees gradually dispersed from the hive box as the hive cooled off.

Gerry, is that an enteance feeder or just full of water. It looked like a bit of fighting on the landing board and entrance feeders commonly set off robbing.

Entrance feeder = bad idea. Decomposing bees under my nuclei can attest to that.

Yes I know about entrance feeders, thanks. What about the air conditioning bee behaviour?
