I find the odd one in th kitchen buzzing around the light in the evening..

Dont know if they have been there since daylight and hiding somewhere or if they come in when its dark, finding out what the light is...

or they are sussing out how many bees it might take to change a light bulb...
 
I like it (not a lot but I like it):leaving:

I made just an experiment.

I made a pile of supers on the yard and i forgot to close all upper entrances. I went shooping and when i returned, perhaps couple of thousand bees were robbing honey from boxes.it became dim and and sky turned darker.

At one moment the cloud of robbers disapeared. I opened the cover and bees were able to go home. They did not flied out from their hive but lots of robbers arrived home.

Then it became a moment that bees did not leave the robbered superpile. Bees went deeper into the box
