Honeybee trashing tank

[Sonny1318]

Did his movements look something like this? It could be some courtship behaviour, even though there was no female about.

Edit: Although after reading more, some people are suggesting thrashing about like that can also be territorial/fighting behaviour, so perhaps he felt the need to re-establish it was his home after being out for a while.

Thank you Marzipan. And yes it looked a lot like that. When I opened the top, he could see me coming. He braced on three sides of the tank and took a s position. I was like, damn it's on. He came out no problem. Got a little rowdy in the holding tank, and chilled. He also released some bodily fluids while thrashing or right before. Once it was over and he settled a bit more, I gave him a once over, and let him roam around for a few minutes. After he went back in his freshly cleaned tank, pushed his hide around for a few and is now balled up like nothing happened. I have also found sperm plugs in their tanks recently, like in the last months or so. He was really making some noise banging around, got my attention fast.
