swarm

the bees were just as happy to see the sun finally as we were, they decided to make the most of it and left their hive enmasse!

@jaynspain long zoom! but honestly they are very placid when swarming, the fill their bellies with honey before they leave and have no hive to defend. the swarm was on the path and no problem walking right by them.

I really love this - even though it gives me goose bumps - didn't know it was safe to get so close to a swarm.

[Keeshi]

Impressive!

It's good to see all these honey bees, considering how rare they've become (at least here).
