In this delightfully unhinged episode of Hive Mind Lab, our self-appointed science bee, Professor Buzzwell, investigates a peculiar hive ritual known as the Dogpile of Concern—where one seemingly unresponsive bee becomes the unwilling focal point of an enthusiastic group hug… with wings.

Through the lens of questionably accurate science and maximum bee drama, Buzzwell breaks down this chaotic behavior with phrases like “tactical thorax stimulation” and “emergency bee compression therapy,” while wearing a lab coat he definitely didn’t earn. Expect quick laughs, satirical commentary, real hive footage, and a sting of truth hidden beneath the pollen dust.

💡 This video is part of the Hive Mind Lab series, a comedic science parody from the bees of Putney Ridge Apiary. Because sometimes the hive gets weird, and Buzzwell’s here to make it weirder.
