| The queen and her retinue of a florea colony. Note the bee with '77' on her, which I tagged the night before. Because workers form a few layers of curtains, one has to comb through them to find the queen. This one took us about 20 min to find and I just got lucky to have this clear shot, because two seconds later she disappeared again. Both florea and dorsata queens can fly without any preparation. European and Asian honey bee queens would need to be starved for 2-3 days before they can fly because they are too fat when laying eggs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

From: nsg629@aol.com (May 06, 2005 14:18 EDT) I've read that most bees that build their nest in the open such as Apis dorsata and Apis florea are very aggresive and difficult to approach. Is this true and if so how did u manage to get such increadably detailed photos?

I would also like to know if there's any possibility that they might re-colonize in the same place. I identified the bees through images on your site, and so I know it's dwarf bees. Do you have any information?
