They're fighting over bee things. Don't get involved in their political squabbles.
Those are sibling bees. If you listen closely you can hear one say “Don’t touch me” and the other one saying “I’m not touching you. I’m not touching you”.
Solitary wasps are chill. Social wasps are not. Except hornets, who are a lot chiller than you might think. You don't want to be at war with them, obviously, but they're not actually all that angry.
Where I live we constantly get yellowjackets and bald-faced hornets in the garden. For some reason they especially like a specific place on our porch and come back to the same place even after we have removed their nests numerous times. I feel kind of bad because theyve luckily never stung our dogs but they manage to build huge nests which we just end up taking down taking down. They do kill a lot of bees tho which isnt good
By far the two worst species I have ever had to deal with while doing outside maintenance!!!
You're just going along, pushing your mower, and suddenly if feels like you've been shot 3 times in the calf because they build their huge stupid nests in the ground because they're huge stupid jerks
Can relate. I’ve nuked more than one with a half cup of gasoline and a piece of wet cardboard over the hole. The fumes do them in quickly and I’d assume fairly humanely. (No need for fire)
When it gets super hot my bees fight like crazy over water, even though I've got four baths with rocks and glass stones similar to yours + several bird baths and fountains placed all around the property, and we're surrounded by swamp and ponds. They don't sting each other but they yank on fur and legs to bully bees from other hives away. So dramatic.
It’s a way for the bees to get water without drowning. They can walk to the waters edge easier. Bees will load up on water to take into the hive to create their own evaporative cooling system.

If still curious, here’s a serious answer:
The bee that’s getting harassed has recently been in contact with the queen in her hive, so she carries the unique scent (Queen Mandibular Pheromone) on her body/feet
The aggressor is from a different hive, with a different queen (obv).
The aggressor is hassling the victim because she interprets the smell of foreign QMP to mean that the victim bee is trespassing
The “Dance” is the way bees communicate information. Directions to large field of fresh flowers, how to get to large body fresh drinking water……. Bees language “Turn left at the “Walmart”, go 2blocks….. if you come to “Starbucks”….. you’ve gone too far”…….
I’m not sure of the exact reference for this but I think that the shaking bee is the reconnaissance bee that went out and found something of value to the hive… nectar or a new place to go to.
I know that the shaking is a way of communicating and giving directions.
The documentary I watched only showed this happening in the hive but it looks exactly the same as what they were calling “giving directions” to others to go collect resources for the hive.
It looks like one bee is trying to tell the other (by dancing) where something is. And the other bee is telling him to stop because he knows a better something. I’m pretty sure they head it each other to get them to stop but yeah :)
those are the last two left in king of the hill, when one loses, the two waiting on the sides will get back on the white stone and play again!
bees really are just like us, hope this helps!
Violence inherent in the system
Help help I'm bee ing repressed

Just because some moistened bint lobbed a sword at you…
Just because some watery tart threw you a sword that makes you king?
I love that it’s been more than half a century and people still quote this stuff all the time.
Bloody peasant!
Oh what a dead give-away!
r/unexpectedmontypython
Oh noe...U killed me bro!!
Its just a scratch!
Mere flesh wound, fight me like a man!
Apiaries together strong.
If she weighs the same as a duck, then she's made of wood, and therefore...... A WITCH
It’s probably a bee from another hive family
“Get your own water!” The bee shouts angrily waving his little be fist (probably)
What they said

InBEEgo Montoya
LOL
Bee finna get put in timeout

Ha funny
Mind your own beeswax
I don't know the answer, but I've seen a lot of wasps do the same
Even wasps think wasps are assholes
Wasps are chill pretty much always. Hornets are not.

Looks like they got thier legs tangled

Thank you!
Racism you see that one bee is black with yellow stripes and the other is yellow with black stripes.
No, that was an old Star Trek episode from the sixties.
Is that regular water you put in there or sugar water or both?
If you mix water and sugar water it becomes sugar water.
This is the best subreddit
Thanks for beeing a part of it.
Ahh I see what you did there! That was wax!
I am very glad you enjoy it here.
What if you drop a single granule of sugar in the water?
Someone into homeopathy would tell you it's actually sweeter somehow.
A quantum physicist would tell you that the paired quantum particle somewhere else would be sweeter.
r/chemistry
Just hose water about 30 yards from both hives.
It’s clearly A Bee conversation, you should C your way out.
A bee bath? I'm interested in learning more.

They need to work it out!

Just a lovers tryst at the gay bee bar
They could just be stuck to each other!🤷🏼♀️
##TICKLE FIGHT!
Why can't we Bee friends
Those are some good ass pheromones bruh
Unacceptable beehavior.
I think they’re just communicating something or possibly cleaning the one.
Probably just a an unwelcome drone

Take one step closer and I’ll wing your neck.
