Human and simulated Bee vision video

As a beekeeper, I find the video fascinating. Of course, being curious, I had to check the other videos under your name, including the one where you apply sunscreen.

But I have a question. Silicium sensors are not very sensitive to UV, so that usually rather long exposure times are needed for UV photographs. Obviously, long exposure times are not possible for video, so what camera did you use for the movie? Did you need noise reduction? (I think there are some effects of noise reduction visible).

True, UV photogarphy usually happens 8-10 stops below "normal" photography. High ISO of modern cameras has allowed that now, SONY, NIKON, OLYMPUS, PANASONIC etc all provide useful bodies for that, but all need to be suitably modified.
