A Swarm of Honey Bees

Yesterday my honey bees swarmed for the fourth time this summer. Apparently they love the Japanese Maple above my garage. The swarm is a thing of beauty but it's a little unnerving to have them hanging out in the tree. Later they were boxed up and they now have a new home where, I hope, they are happy.

Honey bees chain themselves together in the tree.

 

 The bees are in a cardboard box. I put some honey in a plastic cup which can barely be seen in the middle of the photo.
