The bees leaving the hive!

I was lucky enough to be around when the bees decided to swarm out of the hive and I caught it on video. The whole event took maybe 20 minutes and was pretty unbelievable. The bees were pouring out of the hive and it almost seemed like the sky darkened.... OK maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but there were a lot of bees flying.

Here's some of the video.....






We have also just collected the bees from our neighbor's yard!!! I'll let Jessica tell you about that later.
