Bee Swarm

There was a honey bee swarm outside the office today which settled in the tree opposite.  It just so happens my boss is a registered bee-keeper in her spare time, and so knew exactly who to contact and how to help!  All in a day's work!

If you zoom in on some of the photos after they've been caught, you can see there are still hundreds of bees flying around.  Quite a sight!  Although I was pleased to be looking at them from behind glass...

Apparently, honey bees are quite docile while they are swarming, although apparently most people would find it difficult to distinguish between honey bees, bumblebees and wasps!
