Maybe free bees? if they're not the swarm from 5 days ago which would be unlikely unless they didn't like their first pick of a new home. The bait hive was very active yesterday, then it wasn't at all, then before dark it was really active again and some looking like they'd spend the night. This morning when I looked it was busy again so I put the GoPro up.

Definitely bee season! This dead tree fell on my driveway and it was full of bees. A couple friends and my teenager relocated it into a bee box to take to their homestead, since our only hive is in use. I love that my kid is actually interested in at least ONE THING that takes place outside. 😅 #bees #beekeeping #freebees #homestead #feral #today
(and dodging a giant swarm of bees which has arrived and flown into some empty equipment here, once again 🤪 -- the bees are welcome, however, we just have to move them elsewhere here soon...) #beekeeping #freebees
Just saw a queen bee hatching whilst I was doing an inspection. Fortunately, it was in a hive that seemed to be missing a working Queen.
Also, caught a swarm. Anyone in the Wiltshire area want some free bees? #freebees #beekeeping

Asked by someone elsewhere... Any #beekeepers in Santa Barbara interested in a swarm?

"any leads to swarm /hive removal for free in DT Santa Barbara? Tried bee guild, beekeepers association, not having luck. Fir elderly neighbors, not me"

(will pass on the message)

A swarm in May is worth a load of hay. #beekeeping #freebees

I had a random swarm of bees move into some empty hives I was too lazy to put back in the shed.
