Cool video of the day: time-lapse from egg to hatching honeybee!
Saw this amazing video linked to from Facebook today and had to share! The developmental metamorphosis from a single egg, to a larva, then pupa, and finally emerging adult is stunning! Stuff like this makes both my inner bee geek and science nerd happy 😉

PS: Did anyone else notice those disgusting varroa mites scuttling around on the pupal stage though??? Gross.
Yup, I can see how you would find this fascinating Erika! Very impressive!
