Okay, so I watched the video...very cool.

Then I started looking at the other videos, the 911 call, now THAT's FUNNY..."i'll just drag her over to oak street"...

I just watched the video from last night, what I really found cool about it is:
If you pay attention to the liquid in the feeder, you can see the bubbles coming up from the bees drinking it... kinda like the office water cooler. Too cool! LOL

yeah they empty the feeder in about 2 hours now.

they have some way of getting it out where it screws together.

ooh, you're so lucky! You should move it to your garden so they pollinate everything

Do you have any idea where their hive is? I think it would be really interesting to see the hive and how close to the feeder it is. I you can see the hive can you take some pics and post them?

I saw a nature show not long ago and they looped some thread with a small piece of white plastic grocery bag onto one of the bees it lead them straight to the hive. They were able to see the bee even in the woods and recaught the bee and snipped the thread off. They wore leahter garden gloves to handle the bee.

SOOOOO glad you didn't kill them. Be thankful you have them in your area. I haven't seen a honey bee in over two years now. Bumblebees are pollinating my plants this year. So sad what we are doing to our planet.
