beh.... i was hoping that at least one of them would hit the camera, or at least the camerman :-D

it's funny though, how the ventilating bees always get harrased by the ones entering/exiting the hive, eventhought there's plenty of space for them to cross.

How cool - looks like the bees have the same admonishment many children have - must wash your face before leaving the house!!!

Learning from a mistake I made the other day, I wisely suited up with veil before placing the camcorder at the entrance. Quite a few bees made runs at me as I was setting up the camera. I then retreated and then it sit unattended to film. I got a sting on my forehead the other day when I didn't suit up for some filming and had a nicely swollen face to show for my silliness.

I love the comment on you tube you posted about the idiot and the aresol can they were using to burn the beehive. Darwin Awards aren't given out enough.

JP - Your avatar is a fairly accurate depiction of me running from the hive right after getting stung. :-D
