  • throw a smoke bomb or somtin

  • If I saw this....well there might be a forest fire...Let's just say that bee's creep me out so much

  • never seen a bee hive entrance like that

  • These small bees are called JATAÍ here in Brazil and are very common. The honey they produce tastes like orange.

  • @Dvdinvictus tell me,can those bees be raised in sistematic hives like the european bee for example?do they have economical value?i never kenw about them.i am from romania

  • wonder how fast they work, time lapse would have been cool

  • @MactheMantis yes, the texture of the bark looks like rock or some barren waste land, like peeking into the crevices of the bark, very close up, so all thees guys must be TINY!

  • are these angel bees?

  • ..... uh oh .... those ants are sealing honey ,,,, poor bees have so much competition for their honey, humans included.

  • this is probably a dumb question, but can you eat the honey these particular species produce?

  • Interresting video

  • Woah pollen on their legs, that's interesting.

  • O M G, EVERYBODY STOP, did he say orange pollen?

  • Awesome clip...what is the name of the National Park?

  • This was at Khao Yai National Park in Thailand - about 3 hours drive North-East from Bangkok.  I saw many large bee hives high up on trees but was lucky to find this one in a tree that had fallen across the trekking trail from Orchid Cliff Camp to Heo Suwat waterfall.

    Glad you enjoyed the clip. We have just finished a project in Kaeng Krachan National Park, also in Thailand, and these will be online in the next couple of weeks.

    Regards, Darryl

  • I'm glad you enjoyed the video - it was great fun to film. If you get a chance to see bees returning to a hive sometime, or in fact even when they are at a flower, take a close look at their back legs which will usually have a large ball of pollen attached. Sometimes you can even tell what kind of flower the bees have been visiting from the colour of the pollen they are taking into the hive. They store the pollen in the hive and use it as food over time.

    Happy viewing, Darryl Sweetland

  • I have never seen bees with pollen on their legs, very interesting video.
