Bees Swarm Like Angels

in #nature8 years ago (edited)

I had the craziest experience once.  A swarm of migrating honey bees decided to use my tree as a pit stop.  I later looked it up, and there must have a been a queen in there somewhere. That's what all these bees were doing: protecting their queen! I've never seen this happen before and I've never seen it since.  

This brood was heavy!

Ew ew ew ew ew ew.

I wish I had recorded the sound. They were so loud!!

And then as suddenly as they appeared - they dispersed!

They only left this wax to mark their passing.

Have any of you seen this in your yard?  Post in the comments!

What? Oo But better many bees as no bees, because of toxic of the agriculture, like already in some regions of the world.... Great shots, of course I upvoted!
