Ok so I get home today early from work (since they let us go at 2pm), checked on the hives and it looked like a swarm was occurring. Of course it wasn't.... not in December (unless you are down under!). But it was 67°F outside and the "swarm" were the bees in the holding pattern, waiting their turn to land with their stores of pollen!! It was really crazy... by the time I grabbed the camera to take a video, the pack of bees in the air had thinned out some so I just got some footage of them landing and trying to enter the hive.
The video was actually Part II, since the bees were checking me and my funny looking camera out, there were about 30 or so on my hand and the camera.... so I shook a little bit. You can still see many bees on the left side of the picture as the left me and crawled towards the entrance.
The video is only 320x200 (a tad bit out of focus for some reason), shot by my old 3.2 megapix camera, not great but my helmet cam video came out alittle dark so I resorted to the digital camera video mode.
