Title: Sneak peek in hive with endoscope
Post by: Spear on May 12, 2014, 05:24:33 PM
This the swarm that I hived on 07/05/2014. It has been raining and rather cold on and off since then so I have not been able to open up to look what is going on inside - I did see some pollen going in today - so I decided to employ my new 'toy' - a usb endoscope :)

As soon as the weather allows I'll open the hive and check for the queen but as for now I'm happy that they are staying put - maybe just to keep out of the rain. I'm 9% sure I have the queen as the ones I did not suck into the vac followed me to where I had the hive waiting and flew right in once I dumped the ones in the vac into the hive. Will update when I open the hive - will try to remember to wear my action cam when I do...

I must say I'm disappointed.  I was expecting to have a view of inside your bee's gastrointestinal tract    :-D

Next video we at least expect to see you perform open heart surgery on a bee...

It's an ENDoscope, Jay, so it has to be from the end!
