We know that the bees take flight on sunny, cold days. It is said they do this to relieve themselves, to gather pollen and for the younger bees a chance to orientate themselves but I suspect that they just also take the chance to get out and about, stretch their wings and have a jolly. As can been seen from the video I shot yesterday video link we see that they were very active. It was around 2pm and 13 degrees C so I was a bit surprised to see quite as much activity as I did. I was so impressed I quickly grabbed the camera and shot a few minutes of video. Click here to watch the video
