I watched some bees move their hive. Their colony was getting too large, so they split their population, and a great swarm of 30,000 bees (protecting the Queen, of course) moved collectively to a new location. I watched scout bees fly, find a place, and then come back, and then communicate where to go to their fellow super-organism bees through dancing. They actually found their way there. All 30,000 of them.
It was wild and gorgeous.
That’s the video I wanted to show you today, but I don’t see that a clip is available. So I’m going to show you this trailer and invite you to watch all of Our Planet II. Then you get to see all of the magical scenes.
