Swarming bees


I have never really seen large quantities of bees up close before so this was quite an amazing sight! OH tells me that they won't go back to their hive (some 100 metres away) as they have followed an alternative queen and so don't really have a home to go to now.

I hope for the moment they're OK until they can somehow find a new place to lay their many hats

OMG that is a strange sight. I hope they either find a new home or go back to their old one soon.

Re: Swarming bees


Do you have a local beekeeping group Yola? They will come and collect the swarm and give it a new hive to live in.

I start panicking when I hear the buzzing and Myles even tells me to behave and just stand still and it won't hurt me, how bad is that? Being told by a 6 year old!

Re: Swarming bees


That is amazing - I've never seen a swarm before.

What happened to them? Do you know?
