Viddler

This video is time-lapse photography of honey bees moving into a Top Bar Hive and building honeycomb.

About one week is compressed into a little over six minutes in this video. One photo was taken per minute. Over 11,000 photos were strung together to make up this video.

The photos were taken in total darkness using infrared lights for illumination. That is why the video appears Black & White.

Occassionally you can see a few bright sunrises on the video shining through the hive entrance which introduce a smidge of color.

If you are interested in this video, I recommend downloading the original version, which is higher resolution and even more interesting.
