Bee Swarm

I found a swarm of bees in my tree.
I was very careful not to go close to them.

 But after a couple of experienced bee keepers came to collect the swarm 
I was soon not afraid of them and learning a lot.


A bee landed on his head so he tried to take a selfie with it. It flew 
before he got the image but at least I was lucky enough to get it.




There are several bees with their back ends in the air 
and I found out that they were sending off a scent to tell
the other bees where they were and where the queen was located.



The bees on the end of the box were gathered around a couple 
of holes as they were trying to get into be with the rest of the swarm.
