The Honey Bees are Swarming

 Today, while I was sitting in the shade under the apple tree, I heard that vague, but primordial sound that still sort of raises the hairs on the back of my neck... the sound of bees swarming.  I was taking a break in the shade of the apple tree when I heard the unmistakable sound of a honey bee swarm.  I think this is the fourth time I have encountered a bee swarm.  Not something everyone gets to experience.


This was not as organized as some swarms I have seen, and we no longer have a bee tree to host them.  They came up the side of the garden, over the horseshoe pit, and I retreated to the side of the garden shed to have a better look.  As all swarms, they had their minds on something else, so without knowing how well it would translate on camera, I took a little video,
