Gill Sentinella

2009 PAL (UK) widescreen. Duration 43 minutes Code VID45

This high quality film follows a colony of European Apis mellifera through a year within a frame hive in the UK. Close-up footage of the life of the queen, workers and drones begins with young adults emerging weak and hungry to be pushed and trampled by others in the colony before they are washed and fed by nurse bees. Communication within the nest, foraging for food, water and propolis, defence against wasps, the ravages caused by Varroa, wax production, swarming, and how the colony interact to survive the cold in winter are all documented.

Gill Sentinella’s 2005 film (2nd edition 2009) Dancing with bees (code VID39) has proved to be one of the most popular purchases on our webstore. This film is equally appealing and fascinating to view.
