Strange behavior in front of colony

[Manuel Garcia]

Hi all!

I noticed this strange behavior in front of my colony. Bees are on the ground just shaking. After doing some research seems like it could be a couple of things, lots of mites, diseased, or simply heat... Wondering what is your experience with this?

I plan to do a mite check this week but the colony is strong, full and producing lots of honey.

Did they get sprayed or distrd with something and they're cleaning  themselves up?

They could be shuddering/spamming Sue to a nerve toxin. 

They foraged a food source sprayed with pesticides. 

That’s my 2¢
