There was lots of traffic at the hive today, they were coming and going faster than I could count them.
This evening, it was 7ish, as I was standing by the compost bin watching the bees come and go as I usually do, there was a lull in the action for a short while. so as I was just standing there looking at the entrance, a worker came out and stood for maybe 30 seconds on the board, then took flight, but didnt go up and away like a foraging run, but flew straight at me and stopped to hover for a second maybe 6 inches from my chest. She moved to the left and then to the right very quickly, back and forth a few times, then she flew around me 2 times and went back inside.
I imagined her reporting back to the queen: "Yes, It's out there again today. It smells pretty bad but it seems harmless."
