2007 DVD PAL/VHS (first available on video in 2000) 23 minutes (VID19) English and German.

This amazing film shows the behaviour of Apis dorsata and how it protects itself from predators. The filming takes place in Assam, at the edge of the Himalayas. The giant honey bee builds large, single combs, some almost 2 m wide. The colonies nest near one another, sometimes with hundreds of colonies in one tree. These honey bees show behaviour that is very different from that of hive nesting bees. A 'Mexican wave' of bees moves across the comb as predatory wasps come close. This film will fascinate beekeepers, teachers, students and indeed anyone concerned with aggression and defence behaviour.

Order usually dispatched within 4-6 weeks direct from the European producer.
