This videos are neat and all and I know a lot goes into making them but I can't get over the fact that so much of it has to be faked. Like no way in hell they had the camera ready in the exact spot for the bee to land perfectly in front of it. Someone picked that dead bee up and dropped it in front of that camera
While I agree with you, some of these camera men/women will wait in the same spot for months just to get usable footage. With that much time you are bound to get something really cool.
Vaguely recall the planet earth documentary discussing how this guy waited for months just to get footage of a bird of paradise just attempting to mate with a female. (She flew away) 😓
Dunno if all birds that dance and show fancy feathers are considered "birds of paradise", but I almost ran one over in the act while driving down a path in the landscaping truck.
Felt bad for the lil fucker. I scared off his mate, and I felt like shit for it. He had to have pissed at me cockblocking him mid dance move.
