In the act of swarming

Wish they wouldn't do that! We did manage to climb up on the shed to retrieve them and give them a new home.

Oh my goodness. I guess you know what you are doing around bees. Great collage and pretty coloured beehive.

@wakelys yes we have had bees on and off for 30 years now, not that we ever seem to know what we are doing lol

[Rob Z]

Wow - that's an exciting series of photos.

[kali]

@robz i was thinking of doing a gif with the sequence of photos to show the movement but the bees fly so fast it doesn't really work

[Dawn]

A fabulous series of photos

[Rob Z]

@kali66 That's a shame - it would have been so good to see... :)

[Brian]

Wow!

[John Falconer]

Great use of the collage. Love it!

Selfish bees, looking for somewhere else to live

[Julie Duncan]

Wow - I can't imagine how you retrieved them! Dang! :)

[Bill Davidson]

Fantastic presentation.

[Amanda R.]

Yikes! I'd be terrified to get close to them!

@juliedduncan they form a clump hanging from a branch so we clipped it off and it fell into a box , then we tipped all the bees into a waiting empty hive box, they are very placid in their full-of-honey state with no hive to defend, so they are not too hard to deal with.

[Julie Duncan]

@kali66 Fascinating! You’re brave though! 😃

Beautiful collage.

[Granny7(Denise)]

Great idea!

[Jane Pittenger]

Yikes

[Kathy]

Yikes. I know you wouldn't be afraid of them like I might be. I'm glad that you managed to contain them, I assume in another box. All the more honey I guess.

The bees are lucky you are on it! Well done
