Title: Strange beehavior
Post by: Casimir on July 10, 2007, 09:20:14 PM
I was out standing next to the hive and I noticed a bee that was spinning in circles on the ground. It then flew up a couple feet and then landed on the ground and spun in circles again. It did this six or seven time before I lost it. The bee didn't seem to have damaged wings so why would it do this? Is it sick?

They will do that when they are poisoned, keep an eye out, if its just one bee I wouldn't worry.
