Beautiful, yet hard to defend against robbing.

Nice looking!

I wonder if all bees act and react similar to what is in this video?

no, they won't. Because the video bees are Apis Dorsata

That was fabulous. Very interesting how they make that wave like motion. I wonder if our bees would be tricked by an intruder. It just doesn't seem possible.
