I would have thought with that wind whipping so much that your shook ones would take longer to 'wake up' and march in. - that was cool to see - it was like a shot going through them the way they all turned for the hive. nice video.

Nice one Schawee. Loved the march in.

You sure are living right. Did you buy a lotto ticket after that bit of luck? :-D

Dang, these soldiers marched in so fast! Good catch!
Was it from one of your hives?
