I was inspecting hives this afternoon and tried using a new torch to help find eggs. Immediately upon switching on the torch bees surged out of the frames and attacked the torch. They weren't attacking the light but the body of the torch. Turned off and the bees ceased their attack. I'm wondering if these cree torches use an oscillator which runs at a frequency outside my hearing range but which acts as an irritant to Bees?
Anyone found similar effects?
