    A lovely part of the world … I note the bare legs and rather snazzy shoes on the left hand side of the pic. Was that a beekeeper?

    PS This thread prompted me to re-read the Donkey Incident. Classic.

    Default Communication in Bees

    Very good! The meeting was in Camserney, a couple of miles short of that amazing longest lived plant in Europe.

    Yes, beekeeping legs I think though there were non beekeepers in the room thanks to Jo's aggressive poster campaign in the local villages. It was quite a surprise to see my name up on the boards.

    And there must be a chance that you will get some votes in the EU election tomorrow.

    Sadly they weren't on correx otherwise the next generation of nuc boxes would have been sorted.

    Aye, got to rank up there with the finest bee literature ever written, and the Val song always brings a smile.

    Nice to have another outing for the Bee Communication talk today. The Aberdeen and District Beekeepers are by far the largest group in Scotland with round 230 members. Here is a fair chunk of them enjoying some bee communication videos this afternoon. Nice to meet you Kitta. There is at least one more forum poster (no, there's two!) in the foreground.

    There's a close to devotional "looking up" attitude from some of the audience.

    Was the stage very high ?

    Likewise, Gavin. It was nice meeting you - more than five years later, and I almost did not make it again as the track from the croft was a skating rink. I was also pleased to have met Ewan.

    Gavin's talk was good, Fatshark, and impressive - but contrary to what you might have thought, the 'devotional looking-up' was us being fascinated by the film clips of clever bees. Gavin wasn't hovering up there above our heads!
