The stingless bees have been swarming near the hive for 3 days and I don't know why. Could it be a mating flight? Are my bees absconding? Are some of the bees splitting and making a new colony somewhere else? I have read an article saying that stingless bee drones have a tendency to swarm especially on a favorable weather. It was a beautiful weather during the swarm and rainy season is just starting. I caught some bees from the swarm for some photo shoot. I hope someone can help identify if these are drones. Here are the pics:
Here is a video clip of one of the bees caught:
I hope anyone can help. Please send me a message or comment. Thanks.
Can someone help identify if this is drone?
