Bee Bearding
Bee bearding. This is done for climate control. It was a very hot day. They keep the internal temperature of the hive at 95 degrees all year round, so if it's really hot outside they come out and fan the hive to keep it at 95.
 
Drone

Drones, fun to catch and play with.
They do not have a stinger, and are the only males in the colony.
