That is a funny image. Thank you… I have the weirdest image stuck in my head now and its awesome!
Were the windscreen wipers on?
I always thought Bees were amazing, but wow!
my uncle hit a flying swarm with his car…..let’s just say it was a mess
The hive looks like an upside down elephant clinging to the branch 🙂
Thank you, Hank, for 2:53-2:55. 😀 That brought a huge smile to my face and improved an otherwise not-so-great day. ^u^
Those two seconds need to be gif’ed, stat. XD
Cannot unsee now
2:53 I can’t be the only one that’s reminded of Sid from Ice Age.
unlike bees our system is rigged and fixed by the senant
Hank, I see that ring on your finger but that dance solidified it, I love you man.
In Canada, every party has a corresponding dance; to vote liberal you do the YMCA, to vote conservative you do the chicken dance and to vote for the NDP you do Gangnam style. 😛
Lol I just imagine a shit load of Canadians all flooding out of their homes and bunching up on a giant tree branch somewhere and discussing what their next move will be.
yes! lol
loved the dance in the end 😛

… By dancing?
This is how every voting should be, especially in important and potentially controversial decisions. In the case of these decisions I think everyone legible to vote should get a say in the decisions that are really important. We’re smarter than bees so why can’t we do this system but better? Or rather why can’t we at least do this system at the moment in the majority of countries? (btw this gives me even more reason for liking bees. Best insect!).
We have a few more, but there’s only Democrats and Republicans that actually get all the attention.
Excellent conclusion in reference to politicians!
I see a gif in the making
This is the debates the candidats are here now dance!
I lost it too xD
MOAR…. DANCING!
Peer review for the win.
2:54…. bwahahahhahaahhaha LOOOL XD!!!
interpretive dancing huh? diarrhea: flows like a river.
To me as a European, it is do strange that America just has 2 parties… It’s so weird!
2:54, must have been a horrid nesting site.
Let’s waggle for politics…
1:45 wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah….
isn’t the united states of America a Republic?
Pssh Nerds. Gotta love them!
How about ants?
voting/campaigning through interpretive dance… interesting…
i liked it just for the dance lol
As the son of a professional beekeeper, this is very interesting and one of the few things I haven’t yet learned about bees. Good job!
1:13 thats what she said
There is one chapter in holy Quraan talking about bees ..
