I captured today's image while out on Konza Prairie. I had heard of this before but had never seen it in person until that evening. This was a huge swarm of Honeybees in the crook of a tree. I heard they do this when they leave one hive and are in the process of finding another place to make one. This was on a Friday evening and when I went by on Sunday there was absolutely no evidence they had ever been there.
They better not be on the way to my house. We had a beehive in our attic crawl space last year. Great capture.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like bees but would not want them in my house. Thanks a lot Tom!
DeleteThey are beat to see. A beekeeper I knew always hung a new hive in a nearby tree in case a queen made a break for it with her workers. Twice the escapees moved into the temp hive and filled it choc-a-block full with honey comb
ReplyDeleteI've thought about bee keeping but decided it's too involved for me right now. Maybe when I retire. Thanks Jim, it was very cool to see a huge group like that just out and about.
