Coming out

This silent 3 minute film takes us into an experimental hive and unveils the birth of worker bees.
Using their mandibles to tear off the wax lid from their cells, the bees free themselves from their alveoli. Whitish and hairy, the newborn bees let their hair dry and spread their wings, ready to take up their role as workers within the hive.
