bees?"

Yes. I watched it at the public library twice when it was available free in
better quality. That was before I had an ADSL connection. Some are sold as
packages. You can watch them handling and pouring bees like liquid, then
weighing them. Those in heavy skeps are asphyxiated over sulphur pits.
Others go to make up the stocks for the following year.

There is quite a lot to learn from those videos. I like the swarm catching
nets. If I had had one I might have caught three of my swarms in the act.
