Bees are creatures of the light.  Not only do they orient themselves using the position of the sun; research found that bees even navigate to and from a honey source by reading the pattern of polarised light in the sky.
The bees above are woken up by the morning sun in Përmet, getting an early start at foraging in the Vjosa valley.
