Bees Swarming

I was looking to see if there were any long videos of bees. No commentary or editing or anything. Just a nice long video of bees living out their lives.

Hard to find any. But I found one that shows bees swarming while searching for a new home.

It got really exciting at the end when they were all preparing to fly off.
