I always feel a little bit bad when I go into my colonies and I make a little bit of a mess with the honey, but the bees don't seem to mind it. They certainly don't seem to mind me recording them either. They are mopping up every last bit of that honey. You see that one there? She's had enough. She's going to take that back down, fill it into the cell, and then she'll come back for more, and they will take every single last drop of that honey. Next inspection, there won't be a trace of it. Within 24 hours, all of that honey will be gone. Could watch it for hours though. I love watching bees mopping up the honey like that. They do such a good job. They really are the best cleaners in the world.
