When a swarm moves into a new home it is guided to the hive entrance by bees in the vanguard sticking their tails in the air and beating their wings to waft a ‘homing pheromone’ from their Nassenov glands.
Flatulence at the wrong moment is always embarrassing. The thought of a highly social animal like a bee farting at such a critical and public event makes me chuckle.
