"Whisper words of wisdom, let it bee..."

[@thesilverfish4846]

Somehow its both adorable and metal af

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

2:18 that’s adorable how he just hovers there and cleans his eyes with his forearms like it was nothing.

[@arkhamkillzone]

Human: which of these flowers do you own? Bee: yes.

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

Fire ants: *”nigga, we about to jack your flowers, you can’t do shit because there’s only one of you and there millions of us”* Male Bee: “let me get my AK-47 out”

[@Daedhart]

The commentary at the end...*Italian kiss* "...until they get the sense theyve both done this and dont need to do it anymore", "he just kinda flies up, has a look and then flies off."

[@renatocann5142]

A+ sound design! And dang seeing the mechanics of how they fly in slow motion is always so cool, keeping the head level while the body tilts etc.

[@rolmodel12.]

Came down to comment on both points 😏 I couldn't agree more. The footage is amazing! Capturing their body lean, legs tucked, and the hovering is so cool; it is so fascinating to watch, it is nearly addictive. Awesome.

[@boredwarlock5216]

Nature is frickin bad ass! Thank you guys for not selling out all these years! WHOEVER IS DOING THE FOLEY IS A GENIUS AND DESERVES A RAISE!!!!!!!!!!!! Take note people. That's how it's done.

[@staciemilmeister151]

This is real sound, slowed down because in the normal speed footage the bees are moving too fast for us to see what they are doing, so the footage and sound were both slowed down.. this is not foley. it's actual sound from filming in the garden.

[@Mark2Morrissey]

This was one of my favorite nature programs ever. So beautifully done and what a refreshing concept; right in your backyard is an entire world we’ve overlooked. Please do more like it

[@kennethwinter320]

Darn i wouldnt want to get stung by him wow you take them flowers buddy😀👍

[@ChristineCarmichaelphysteacher]

This fantastic film changed my view of bees entirely. I still think about Nicky. 10 stars!

[@staciemilmeister151]

Yes.. I think about Nicky too.. Amazing film.

[@skyguard1000]

so the male wool carder bee is the bee equivalent of an attack helicopter gotcha

[@jennylloyd8922]

I loved this. Help save the bees

[@LisaX84]

so peaceful...

[@arisrahman1568]

that zooming and slow motion so wow

[@2dheethbar]

"Don't bee scopin' out my flowers!"

[@primalrage3219]

These bees need to bee careful

[@Sengence]

These bees the best of nature🐝

[@barbaracovey]

Where is this occurring? Great Photography.

[@staciemilmeister151]

A backyard garden in London during lockdown

[@ashokvarhadi4887]

Really this video is amazing.Hatts of photography Thanks lots

[@liviarodriguez4465]

Wow!! Pictures wolderful!!

[@TF8ase]

Wow. That is some magnificent footage. I found it really hard to film bees and flies. Not like I have the equipment 😅. but still very cool.

[@andrewa9146]

Brilliant sound effect !

[@forevermarked5826]

Awwww beautiful

[@Lomogrammaton]

[@diaryofseresha]

Bees are so cute but yet quite scary

[@cheetahbug5]

That's so amazing that he can recognize his own females

[@peterswellingtonthe3rd513]

Looks like a car to me but what do I know

[@hedgehogR2010]

It's fine

[@nonnnth]

Wait, I thought only queen bees get to mate with the males

[@rafiazad2271]

About 3/4 of bees are solitary with no hierarchical structure

[@moritzzumm9875]

angry floof

[@srinivashsurisetti7763]

Super exclant

[@joshcommet137]

awesomeeee

[@katraju.mallesh7054]

Monster 🐝

[@Eyad.Copyright]

Very interesting

[@joethafoe]

The wilderbee

[@k.pacificnw02134]

Different reproducing evolutionary path than the honeybee, eh! They have just one queen. There's no one-on-one mating.

[@callystarizka-tata7892]

I was believe this bee

[@forevermarked5826]

What are those sounds?!

[@staciemilmeister151]

He recorded them with special equipment and then slowed it down... the sounds are their wings, how they move.. birds chirping in slow motion sound prehistoric. the whole film is great, worth watching it all.

[@buraksimsek7264]

Why does this look fake to me?

[@staciemilmeister151]

watch the whole film. it's not fake. it's special equipment and slowed down.

[@The_PokeSaurus]

So there's no queen with this species of bee? So they have very basic sexual dimorphism.

[@7mad211]

Yeah they don't have a queen , only a king of a territory which is every single male

[@tarjei99]

The sounds are an embarrasment.

[@karlmartin9525]

The sounds are distorted because everything is slowed. Explains that in the actual program

[@staciemilmeister151]

He shot with special equipment then slowed everything down. those are the actual sounds of his garden, just slowed down so we can see because they all move so fast in real time.

[@tarjei99]

@@staciemilmeister151 Which is why people record sound separately.

[@jjhrkel]

Men, don't do this is rl cuz women and clay aren't worth the hassle just go about your day.
