Inspecting/grooming? Video clip

[tjc1]

In reference to y earlier post about frantic inspecting behavior (http://www.beemaster.com/forum/index.php?topic=47152.0), here is a little video of what I am seeing (actually, this is a calmer version - often they are actually vibrating with intensity...). It is constantly going on with numbers of bees at a time.

Yup, that looks like grooming. Good bees.
If they were fighting, they would ball up around each other.

Glad to hear it...mine are doing it too....seems to be during the heat of the day that its at its worst but then again thats when more bees are out on the proch. Sometimes they get so into it both bees fall off the landing board...they then dust themselves off ,fly back up, and go about their business LOL.

Thanks, guys - interesting to know it's a good thing - and that I can stop worrying!
