Awakening Sleeping BEEuties

From last year they were Sleeping Beeuties 2018 to

This year 2019  again these little kind and sweet bees have caught me unaware and when I opened

the sleeping box there were a few anxious looking faces!  So up went the boxes sharpish

and they were put on top to feel the fresh air and off they flew ~ they'll be back always

to the same spot they first remember.

These are the boxes facing South in the hot sun.  

This is a box with                                                                                 an emerging bee under the release box top.

Wildlife have no respect for photographers!

Hi @ gmarkj
That's great hope your hotel tubes start emerging soon. Please keep us up to date here. Thanks for info😊

Thank you @ComaChameleon 

That makes sense.  I used to keep parrots and of course they slept on their perches and never feel off!

unless they were frightened! Always kept a part of their home covered so they could feel safe.

So they fell down when frightened?

Cancelled as not good will try again  ;   Made it larger so better ~ 

This is my first attempt of showing a video of the bees coming and going @liggerz87 

hope it works, if not back to the drawing board.

Hi @Cleoriff  I took it off because I thought it was far too small ~ I added a photo.

Could you see it ok then?

[TallTrees]

Ah yes @Cleoriff   I made it bigger by going to full screen....

[TallTrees]

Thank you @Cleoriff  for your encouragement.]

I put the same video back put changed the drop down to large.

That does look better.

@TallTrees 

I just made it full screen on my PC.. Though if you want to post a larger video to the forum do it like this. Go to the video link in the reply box ie

Then this opens.

The box I have highlighted is a drop down menu which gives you the option of Small, Medium, Large

I choose large every time
