Can't believe I missed this vid - wonderful! I use time lapse for studying feral Bees.

Neat to watch one bee until she disappears into the cluster.  I'd never have time to just sit that long, so thanks for the time-lapse!

I am a beginner beekeeper in Utah: I continue feeding with sugar

2:1 or 1:1 water the whole winter because bees are indoors around 60-70F, and they
go outside through a clear tube in the daytime when it is sunny or warm enough
to let them do that. Should I continue feeding with sugar water, or would
candies/patties be better?

Because of freezing outdoors, 99% of the bees are freezing,
and not returning to the hive. So, I am picking up hundreds of bees from the snow,
and keeping them indoors inside of a container. After a short period of time, I
see 80-90% of frozen bees recovering and moving around. At that point, I put
them back in the hive. Is that correct? One opinion is that old or sick bees
are going out to die anyway, but most of them seem like young bees. Should I
continue collecting them? Or do you think they might not be returning because
they are intentionally going out to die?

Did you think they moved around that much?

What was the temperature outside of that beehive while you filmed?
