Yes, looks like it. Have you upset them or something, that's a decent swarm you have going on there.

Wow. We're just blowing through nap time, aren't we?

I can't believe I'm actually going to say this but...

My dad used to keep bees, so yeah certainly the last photo makes it look like a honeybee.

It's not a queen bee though.

Edit: It's the right time of year for bees to swarm apparently.

No I just turned around and saw them going mental. They seem to have disappeared now bar 4 or 5 :confused:

Poor bees.

We need to find and resurrect the "bee saving" thread from a few years ago.
