Swarming

Honey bees usually don’t go very far during their first flight when they swarm. They usually fly as a mass to a near tree, pole, etc. After that, “scout bees” are sent out to search for a better place for the colony to live. We were able to capture the exact moment when a colony was swarming. This swarm selected a pine tree as a temporary home, which was just a few meters from their original hive.swarming
