Noticed an interesting little thing going on this morning with the bees. They're very clean creatures and spend a lot of time throwing waste out of the hive, including the remains of their dead brothers and sisters. Usually they dump them right off of the entrance of the hive to the ground about 18" below, where I noticed they had some helpers in their clean up efforts: ants. When the bees drop a dead body below the ants come along and start dismantling the bodies for food. Just noticed it and thought it was interesting.
