IMG_5964 - Honey Bees Swarming on a tree branch - Spring is HERE!

I was able to get within about 1.5 feet from this swarm. They buzzed me, but didn't sting. There were zillions - the swamp was about 2.5 feet tall, and about 1 foot across. There was no nest - they were just stacked on top of each other. They must have had a PHD - cause they were sure Piled Higher and Deeper than any I've ever seen!(c) 2010, Terry Mercer - If there are any photos you're interested in, please let me know.
