Live BeeCams HD Streaming Video
There are currently six BeeCams …. #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6
All my BeeCams use the standard RTSP protocol for streaming high definition video. Your phone or PC viewing platform will need a video player that is capable of directly playing an RTSP streamed video format. The BeeCam feeds are not hosted on any commercial or cloud service, but are fed 24/7 from streaming equipment based at the NaplesBees apiary.
Browsers don’t generally directly play RTSP video streams used by cameras. But there are many free RTSP video player programs that can. An RTSP capable video player such as VLC or PotPlayer can easily be used to see the live video stream links shown below.

Bees are most active at the entrance during late morning till mid afternoon. Bees making the transition from nurse bees to foragers will explosively emerge in mass in the mid afternoon hours and perform their orientation flight in front of the hive. Depending on brood population/weather/season, it can be a spectacular sight to behold. Also, one can sometimes tell what flora is available by observing the color of the pollen sacs on the legs of returning bees.
Why the honeybee is so important to everyone.
Another interesting and great video of bees.
