@davidtheeviloverlord @talkie_tim I don't think there's a lot of risk there. You will be safely in your car while the hive goes squish. They won't even see that you're doing something elsewhere in the driver's seat to turn the wheel.

The #bees swarm, their natural way of reproducing. The bees must find new accommodation within three days. After that, the honey supply they brought with them in their honey sacs is used up. Natural habitats for bees are becoming increasingly scarce. Old trees with woodpecker holes have become rare. So, the bike had to do.

Was tun, wenn ich einen Bienenschwarm sehe?

Bei einem Bienenschwarm zieht die alte Königin mit einem Teil der Bienen aus - ein Naturspektakel. Doch was ist zu tun, wenn man einen Bienenschwarm sieht?

@talkie_tim Cool... a swarm of bees... Buckfast, I guess. They are not agressive in swarm, so... good day to start with beekeeping...
Show threadtalkieMay 31
@johannesschneider100 you can recognise the variety of honey bee?! They did seem quite chill, but maybe that's 'cause no one tried stealing the bike.
Show threadJohannes SchneiderMay 31
@talkie_tim Well, bees in swarm have an old... or later in spring one of the new queens within the swarm, so they prefere to be unvisible. But if you touch the swarm... outch... Red bees ... they are Buckfast, a monestry in England. Frere Adam created by breeding a new race of bees in the 1950th. I had a beekeepingfarm, so I know a little bit abt.
Show threadJohannes SchneiderMay 31
@talkie_tim But it is easy to get off them.... they are looking for a new home from that bike... some hours later they are dissappeared.

@MLE_online @talkie_tim This is exactly what I was thinking about when I saw this.
Wasn't there a james bond film where his car had a black widow security sticker on the side because it blew up if you stole it? Not quite as fun as that, but definitely convincing.
