Dave Bender, Miri Newcome · Lens & Land: Dispatches from Israel

After a live observation session at our Neshika Bee Safari (see below), the show’s over, it's time to clock out, and the worker bees need to transfer back into the main hive box.

Watch them as they link together across an open air gap to ferry the workers back from the demo frame.

Rather than flying blind or waiting for help, they interlock legs and bodies mid-air, engineering an organic suspension bridge across the gap. Pure, unscripted instinct at work.

Is that cool, or what?!?
