Hi folks
Does anyone out there recognise what these bees are doing and why.

About a dozen or so kept it up, on their flight board for over an
hour. It had been a hot day and the temperature at the time of
filming was 25C but other bees from this hive, and bees from an
adjacent hive, did not appear to be heat-stressed. To the best of my
knowledge nothing had been spilt on the flight board and when they are
cleaning up spilt honey bees don't usually move like this.
Living in one of the most heavily sprayed counties in the UK. I'm a
bit paranoid about unusual behaviour as a symptom of neurological/
spray damage.
Any ideas/observations gratefully received.
