In this interview, Professor Tom Seeley of Cornell University offers an intimate glimpse into the personal lives of honey bee workers. His new book, "Piping Hot Bees and Boisterous Buzz-Runners - 20 Mysteries of Honey Bee Behavior Solved" introduces readers to twenty biological mysteries, and then tells the story of how those mysteries were solved.
The book is written by a beekeeper (and scientist) for beekeepers, and tells the stories clearly without getting bogged down in too much detail. Listen as Betterbee Director of Research and Education, David Peck, interviews his doctoral advisor about the bee behaviors described in the book, as well as the research philosophy that Tom has employed during his decades of honey bee research.

I'm a humble backyard beekeeper. About three quarters of the way through Dr. Seeley new book "Piping hot..." And all I can say is that it is excellent and I "HIGHTLY" recommend that anyone who has any interest in honeybees pick it up. My one complaint is after reading, Honeybee Democracy, The Lives of Bees and Honeybee Ecology I have walked away knowing how incredibly fascinating honeybees are and how very little I know about them. Thanks Doc

Only 92 other people liked this video with a thumbs up, I find it very interesting Mr Seeley, I hope to keep up the work of people in this society learning from the good diversity of the many bees. They (the bees) are more advanced than humans and we have a lot to learn about and from them, right?

Is eating honey eating bee puke?

I think you'll find the preferred expression is "bee barf". :)

No. Nectar is kept in a separate "stomach" called the "honey crop" so the beesis not vomiting their food. They are able to regurgitate the nectar from their honey crop, add enzymes and pass on to "receiver" bees who continue to process it and place it in the comb.

You say 'regurgitate' and 'vomit', smiley says 'puke', I prefer the alliteration of 'bee barf'. All these words are basically synonymous. But Bee Barf is more entertaining and less pedantic.
