File:Shimmering bees drive hornet away.ogg
Summary
This video shows two 130 cm-wide nests of the Asian Giant Honeybee <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apis_dorsata" class="extiw" title="w:Apis dorsata">Apis dorsata</a> attached to a thick branch of a tree in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assam" class="extiw" title="w:Assam">Assam</a>. The nest in the foreground displays shimmering: a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_wave" class="extiw" title="w:Mexican wave">Mexican-wave</a>-like, spiral or circular, pattern. The ‘mouth’ zone of the nest is at the left bottom rim, where forager bees depart, arrive and dance. In contrast, the bees in the periphery are quiescent, but in response to hornet attacks, they produce shimmering.
