The Birth of A Bee

Our friends at HarvestLiberty.net found some brood on a honeycomb frame.  They saved the brood from the honey extractor, but not before taking a few stills of a hatching apis mellifera ligustica.  They created a quick one-minute (and, in their words,  “decidedly unprofessional slide show”).  Check it out, it’s as quick as the flight of a bumblebee . . .
