Winter Meeting - Dave Bonner on Honey Bee Democracy
From 7.30pm
At Online
Our next online winter meeting will take place at 1930 on Tuesday 2nd February.
David Bonner will tell us about:
Honey Bee Democracy
David says,
"The talk describes the activities and decisions that take place within a Swarm from the time it has left the hive until it arrives at its new home. The complex process of selecting a suitable site from finding the site, then how the best site is chosen from all those found and then how the swarm is guided to the new site.
The presentation is a combination of slides and video clips.
