Honeybee scouting behaviour: what does it look like?

Date: 2021-04-28

Before bees swarm, they send out scouts to look for a new home. It may not be obvious what this looks like to beginners, so in this video I will show you the difference between an active hive and one that is being checked out as a potential home.

You will find a lot of free stuff on my site at https://biobees.com including plans for top bar hives and our international natural beekeeping forum. 

My books, including The Barefoot Beekeeper and Managing a Top Bar Hive (the workshop manual for balanced beekeeping), are available here - https://biobees.com/books.php
