Bee Swarm at Scenic Drive
It sure was interesting to watch how these bees swarmed together in Mum and Dad's tree! The swarm was about the size of a large rugby ball. The beekeeper who came reckoned they were only resting and would probably move off eventually, but we got him to take them away anyway.
