The amazing flight of the queen

September 1, 2016September 1, 2016Sarah Ferguson Leave a comment

I’ve just stumbled across this amazing footage from the BBC of a Queen (Princess) bees maiden flight and her mating with drones.

Strangely enough I’ve just realised the significance of the term “maiden flight”.

No explanation necessary – it is amazing to watch.
