Wabenbau / Honeycombs being built [2 months timelapse]

Ғылым және технология

You can see a tiny colony of my mum's bees grow from around 2000 bees grow to it's full size of around 30000 bees in two month time.
The video was shot in the summer of 2010 with a specialy made box that would house the bees as well as the camera and some lights for the nighttime.
The bright pulsating orange light is the sun.
The music is Feux Follets by Liszt ( • Liszt, Feux Follets, S... ), played by Robert Finley.

    I have never figured out my almost unnatural love of bees. How they make such perfectly consistant shapes etc. ....and honey is pretty darn good! Thanks for the video,

    they're actually very imperfect and contain many mistakes, it only looks like that at our scale if bees and humans were on the same scale, we would do far better, even without technology

    Very interesting, thanks! It's amazing how long a bee will stay in about the same place building comb and it's fun to watch the dead bees get cleaned out every now and then.

    i'm not a bee expert either, i just like doing time lapses. but yes, they build along the wires and some of the frames can be centrifuged. but sometimes the bees build so thick that two frames stick together. when you try to take those out you end up with a giant mess, which you can still lick the honey out of :)

    Nice work! I refer people to it all the time. How often did you take a frame? If I take your 4:04 x 30 fps and divide that across "2 months" I get ~5 frames per hour, or about one frame every 12 minutes. Is that approximately correct? Also, was the inside of the hive lit continuously? Or did you have a timer to turn on the light only when you captured a frame? Thanks!
