🎥 New Videos from Board Member Nelson Pomeroy
We’re excited to share two fascinating new videos created by our board member Nelson Pomeroy.
1. Tekapo School – To Catch a Queen
Following the December visit to Lake Tekapo School as part of their “To Catch a Queen” project, Nelson took some of the queens back to Christchurch and reared colonies in his garage. This video shows how they were kept and details aspects of colony life.
2. Inside a Bumblebee Nest
Ever wondered what really happens inside a bumblebee nest? This video gives you a rare look into the inner workings of colony life — from nest structure to daily activity.
Direct links are below.
Fascinating footage — especially the nest structure and daily activity inside Nelson's garage colonies. It's surprisingly suspenseful, almost like a tiny, contained horror story where every small choice matters. If you enjoy that kind of slow-burn tension and want to explore every branch, I'd recommend a step-by-step The False Sun walkthrough. It covers all 20 endings and unlock guides. Thanks for sharing these videos; the Lake Tekapo project sounds wonderful.
Fascinating to see inside an actual bumblebee nest — Nelson's garage setup sounds like a proper little operation, and the Lake Tekapo connection makes the whole project even better. Colony structure is a great reminder of how small, steady changes build something bigger. Watching the video, I kept thinking about word ladders, where you swap one letter at a time until "bee" somehow becomes "hive." I've been playing today's word ladder answer between video uploads, and it's a nice low-pressure brain break. Thanks for sharing these — looking forward to the next one.
These videos are absolutely fascinating! I never realized how complex bumblebee colonies are. Nelson’s work rearing queens from Lake Tekapo is impressive. It’s amazing to see the inner workings of a nest. Watching this made me want to explore more of the natural world. If you enjoy discovering new places, even from your screen, you might like World Guesser. It drops you into random street views to guess locations. A fun way to explore the planet when you're not out observing bees.
Really enjoyed this piece — Nelson's footage of rearing the Lake Tekapo queens in his garage is the kind of patient, close-up observation that's surprisingly hard to find online. I've kept native bee boxes for two seasons, and the nest-structure shots matched a lot of what I've seen, especially how the colony reorganizes once workers start emerging. "To Catch a Queen" sounds like a brilliant way to get kids hooked. On rainy days when I want a short break between nature documentaries, I've been messing with a low-poly browser racer instead of doomscrolling: https://www.playpolytrack.com/play-unblocked. Oddly relaxing.
Bumblebee Videos are an enjoyable way to explore these fascinating creatures and their natural behavior. The buzzing activity and close-up moments make the content interesting for wildlife lovers.
