I am happy to see swarms of bees since the bee farmers that ship bee all across the nation are claiming that their colonies are disappearing. Maybe those bees are smarter than we think, and the colony is going elsewhere. I'll welcome the bees!!!
Monica, I think the bee business is becoming quite lucrative since the bee population has declined! While I was out patrolling Folsom Lake horseback, I came across a whole colony of honey bees swarming around and in their nest hives/boxes! Someone is making a business with the bees in the State Park - which, is very illegal. I hated to even turn them in, though, but we can't have bees swarming in the park with all the hikers, bikers, and equestrians running into them! It sure is nicer finding bees, though, as opposed to the marijuana farms!
