The Life of the Honeybee – Video Parts One and Two

This is a two part video series about the honeybee. It contains some great photography, and it explains how bees: 

• live together
• create eggs and larvae
• rear their young
• protect their hives
• communicate with each other
• collect pollen and nectar
• pollinate plants
• make honey
• care for the queen
• create swarms to split the hive and expand the colony

Bees are inspiring, hard working creatures. These videos give a brief but intimate look into their lives.
