For those wondering, the varroa mites seen in the video are parasites that suck the hemolymph (Essentially blood) of the bees. This weakens the bee directly and also may lead to the transfer of viruses, which could significantly damage a bee colony.
I was going to ask what they were. Thanks for putting this in the comments! 😄
Doesnt the bee security division stop them?
This parasite comes from south east Asia. Bees of this area can deal with it and kick their asses any day.
Sadly, human activities imported those mites in Europe, North America, you name it...where bees never had to deal with this parasite. So they don't know what to do and if the infestation is big enough, it will eventually destroy the whole hive.
It's a big, big problem. Some say it's the top reason of the disappearance of the bees along with pesticides. A worldwide problem.
Beekeepers, bee's best friends, have their ways of dealing with varroa destructor ( the name of this god damn mite ). I think we should all be beekeepers if we have the chance. I know I will :)
Bradley carter_2181110 what if bees eat the mites
Put them with the messed up breeding experiment that is the killer bee.
Let's take a moment to appreciate the cameraman who had to disguise himself as a bee and infiltrate a hive in order to take this video......
I bet you cameramans are invincible
The are the best
They have the real power
Maybe he just zoomed in
Yes
Inside Job.
Bruh you cannot be this stupid.... these are obviously paid actors
I was literally waiting for the middle one at the end, guess he didn't make it
Edit: i really hope the middle one made it after filming.
Same here 🤣

they have all died anyway
I was watching the one in the middle. It never hatched. Never forget, middle bee... ):

actually in the end of the video we see how it's skin begin to shrivel a bit so i guess it's hatch was off the screen

Rip also other two bees

Pretty sure theyr just taking a bit longer to mature :/
@@bobjobjoe8887 mites killed them
Omg the first thing they do is clean eachother up. That's just adorable.
WHAT?! i thought its french kiss
That's not cleaning lol 😅 I'm guessing they're trying to EAT anything they can find around.. it's the most basic instinct.
@@AnasKhan-ht2tb there's capped honey in hives, they don't search for food. The queen also decreases egg production during winter because food is low and increases production in summer months when food is abundant. There's also nurse bees who care for the developing pupae - they are well fed and taken care of. This is a very organized system.
@@namehere4954 Okay, that sounds more authentic. I'm gonna go with what you said..
@@AnasKhan-ht2tb I kept bees for 6 years. They're magic - truly beautiful to watch. The coolest thing was in 2017 when the eclipse hit my area, they all filed back into the hive like it was night & then flew back out once it passed. I have a video of it that I need to upload!
Time to simp for the queen
-bees right after they were hatched
😂😂😂😂 But isn't queen also their mom?
No I don't think they are from England
Simping perfected 👌

I like how they celebrate their birth by furiously tongue kissing each other.

The bees are weird. Some how
Well its not just anything ...it makes us think how even every small things on this planet has this much detail ..its a miracle of creation
Lmao this is comical, you don’t have to correct him, if you want to marvel at evolution do that yourself
truly is a miracle. look at how complex our own bodies are. amazing how much time and thought was put into everything. stepping back for a moment and just thinking about life really makes you appreciate everything a little bit more.
@@Animeshelly0120 considering that it is that way because less adapted (or attractive) creatures got replaced by creatures that are more well adapted (and or more attractive), until they eventually cleaned former creatures from the Genpool I'd say little to no thought went into the way the look
@@ruhage It would be instructive to learn how the human eye developed from an evolutionist standpoint. Or the human liver. Or lungs. And then finally the brain. There is no evolutionist explanation for the complexity of the human body.
@@leejames6800 you see according to Darwin every ever so slight survival benefit will spread so just having a DNA sequence that will make a barely noticeable difference will as long as the change caused by the sequence is beneficial spread and that's why in theory all species are perfectly adapted to there environment and Perfektion comes from the small things and having a lot of small things that each do something very specific and different is the definition of complexity
Edit :in practice environmental and ecological factors change a little bit which makes absolute perfection impossible to achieve
I like as soon as they're done cookin, they just start licking everything around them like, hey, how's it going *lick lick lickey lick lick tastey taste taste...*
Is that what was sticking out of them at the end? Their tongues?
It was sad that the middle one didn't make it like the otherd

Wow That is really amazing! Thanks
Amazing photography showing nature's fantastic capabilities! Really enjoyed this video!!
The heart shape is beautiful and inspiring. What a beautiful world.
That composition with these shots is truly spectacular. Something about it is just simplistically beautiful and analytic.
A couple of years ago I found what looked like a very tired bee in my back garden. I picked him up with the use of a small stick but he wouldn't fly off. So I decided to give him some honey on a spoon. Looking at the bees in this video reminded me of that day, because near the end, you can see their tongues out, licking the sides of their 'birth channels'. I watched as the bee licked the honey from the spoon. He then flew off.
awesome! thanks!

Shoutout to that one larva who didn't make it. Your time may have been short, but you showed the whole world your love and greatness. Much appreciated. Rest in peace bro.
Would have been really good to watch if the last 2 seconds a quarter of the bees hadn’t been covered with an anouncement for the next video!!!!
There's a way to get rid of it. Just keep long pressing the video pulling it down a little

It really does get no more awesome than that. Like seriously. Much respect to our little pollinators.
The development of any living being
is quite fascinating but especially the development of a baby in the womb.
Hmmm
have you ever read the development of a caterpillar to a butterfly? they literally desintegrate into a goop and reintegrate into a totally different insect. Its mindblowing
Don’t worry, libs are more fascinated with bugs than babies. They will have no problem trying to protect one, and slice to pieces the other. Because, priorities.

Wow, try to imagine:
You are born as a bee in a comb, waitting day by day drinking the sweet that your brother and sister gave you, and you notice a little friend here, they're seem like a friendly little guy just in a crust with you. After more day past by, and you haven't leave the crust, yet your other brother and sister has already left their crust
"Why can't i get out of my crust?" Said the bee,
"Wait a little while and you may free" said a little red bug on you
Time went by more and more till you started to die, and after your death, the bug said
"Thank you for the tasty meal, i hope the other tast like you" said the with a joyful tone
And that how i see it
Как прекрасна природа
Those baby bees were playing a symphony while they were developing.😂🐝 🐝

LOL
Kaukuna! Evolve into Beedrill!
0:28 stupid mites... hate those damn things
Agreed
I thought they were bedbugs!!
All they want to do is repopulate but basically they are sucking the blood from the bees and they do cause an infestation causing diseases to the bees so yeah that's pretty bad for them....
am I okay if I can like relate to your hate
Use Manley syrup to kill them off. I don't know the proportions, but you dissolve thymol in really pure grain alcohol, then mix a little of that into sugar and hot water to make a thin syrup for the bees to eat in the winter.
I like how the bee at 1:02 was like hold up I forgot my food and went back in multiple times
Wow!!! Epic! I love this , thank you for capturing something that we could never see without the lens.
Beautiful. That last bee looks like he's trying to get back to pupae stage. Like he had a taste of bee life and "nope-d" out lol
Who else focused on the middle one and played the video again focussing another to see the transformation..?
Nobody tacking about the other two fallen oyu guys dont care for them
Me me me!!
Amazing transformation,kudos national geographic.
It’s cool how bees start of as maggot like larvae and become the things you see flying around outside
Well that's because they are larvae lol .
bees are beautiful creatures and one of the reasons I appreciate life.
Am I the only one who thought the bees were cute?
+Eric YuXiang Li Bees are great, Wasps are terrible.
Nope
I thought so.
+Sha Gonzalez that the bees looked cute as they hatched
+Eric YuXiang Li bumblebees are cute
Amazing. So sorry to hear about the varroa mite, although I couldn't see it without my spex, it distressed me to read that no other commentors picked up on the seriousness of thst.
In one of the chapters of William Gibson's Neuromancer, the protagonist, Case, stares at a wasp nest cut in half while high. He compares it to a "biological machine gun" or something among those lines. He then starts going on about how perfect the "system" under which the wasps live is perfect and at the same time inhumane, with each wasp that dies being replaced by another one. He also says that he felt that looking at the nest was very unnerving for him. This video reminds me of that chapter.
What good do wasps do again? They're poisonous, and I don't want the insects themselves or nest around my living arrangements.
@@emilyandrews9857 What, do you think I keep a wasp nest on my living room or something? They have an important ecological job, though. And I'm sure they don't like you very much also. Though I don't blame them for that.
it's beautiful and horrible at the same time ❤🙈
@Verix L here's my reply
Hi
1:01 Bee : Dammit i think i left my phone somewhere
Of course bees hatch before my eyes, if my eyes ever hatched that sounds like it'd be painful
After watching this video, live is amazing. It can't be made by them self.
Absolutely stunning. Anand is beyond creative, innovative and because of him I got to see a glimpse into a world I would have never seen in my lifetime. And to think he spent 6 months on this project amounting to 1 minute, that one minute was just incredible to see.
Surely I'm not the only person wondering this, but how come all but three finished transmorphism? Did those three die in the process?
i think because of the verroro mites
+Bron Bron Mad FUCK THOSE MITES
I think they were just laid later than the others. If you look early on in the video, you can see that their larvae look a lot smaller than the ones around them. So it's possible the others just got a head start and in a day or so they'll finish transforming, too.
They died because of the mites ugh
the mites suck the bees dry. they are just like flees they feed off them. I really hate those buggers if you don't control the situation it can kill a whole bee hive off.
You'll be missed middle bee, other than that everything was truly amaziynd beautiful

What an amazing creation of the Creator, think who is behind this amazing process of becoming something from nothing!
Amazing. I had a wasp nets few years back. Think they were European Paper Wasp? It was so hot that summer that some were (I think) literally baked in their combs, nets what have you, but saved their nets and taped them for a few weeks. It was really fascinating.
DAMN VERROA MITES. JUST DAMN.
A FUCKING GREED
i know i saw that wtf that hive has gotta be burned.
It literally just showed how a Weedle evolved into a Kakuna and then a Beedrill.
I like how immediately theyre feelin and lickin eachother like "hey bro i was born!!" "no way bro me too bro!!"
Wowww.... Thought that the effort you people are taking this entire process video.... Really appreciable ❤❤❤❤
It’s amazing on how a bees body starts developing just like how we develop in our mommies tummies. When we’re like 9 weeks old or something our bodies are kinda see through like the wasps!
The way they were greeting each other 🤗
How do you know they were greeting?
The last seconds the bees started talking to each other! Wow!
Nature is amazing!!
it's interesting yet kind of disgusting... not a fan of bees myself still the development is quite interesting!
Personally I think bees are fine. Wasps are asses though
Invisible To me, the disgusting things here are those varroa mites! They kill whole bee colonies! They are just parasites sucking fluids from the larvae..... yuck! xD
Oh, and if you think this was disgusting, then don't watch any videos of live birth :P
Yea I agree with the first comment bee's are okay👌🏼 but wasp are assholes! I got stung by a wasp on my eye 2 times in a row for no reason I didn't even know it was coming towards me... it hurt bad!!!
***** Yeah Wasps are annoying.
I've pet bumblebees before without getting them agitated, and I've held female (stinging) bees in my hands too, without getting stung. Wasps, you don't even have to look at them and they will go after you xD
+Benjamin lol really wow! And lol yea wasp r pretty crazy never getting close to one!!!

I did hatch but it didnt fully evolve
Same for the other two.
"So...You like jazz?"
This is truly amazing
Seems bee larva tissue literally liquefy inside pupa and then reform in adult form. Would like repeated slower shot of hatching process.
Probably feeding mite at 0:30 slowed down development of those pupas later.

Rolo Gamer FTW Yeah, they seem to have brighter colours but they didn't hatch.
Imfromjamaicaman "Varroa destructor can only reproduce in a honey bee colony. It attaches to the body of the bee and weakens the bee by sucking hemolymph. In this process, RNA viruses such as the deformed wing virus (DWV) spread to bees." Varroa Mite Wikipedia. My guess is that it got sick and was unable to mutate properly.
