Routine hive inspection of Italian honeybees.webm

Open license

A routine hive inspection during late Spring (Southern Hemisphere) to check for brood health and honey accumulation progress, for my Langstroth hive of Italian honeybees . You may notice that there is no smoke coming out of the smoker; while setting up the camera tripod, the fire in the smoker went out, and I couldn't be bothered to light it again. In hindsight I would not recommend this, as you can probably tell from the behaviour of the bees after opening the hive. Filmed at 50mm focal length and f/6.3 aperture, with recording settings set to 100Mbit/s bitrate, 4K resolution and 25 frames per second.
