Apis mellifera find
    #8479329 - 06/03/08 12:37 PM (15 years, 7 months ago)

While out and about Sunday I came across this:



When first seen it was just a cloud of honeybees in the air. In only about 5 minutes they settled down into this swarm in a crabapple tree.

Happy mushrooming!

Such a fascinating, hard working and generally sympathetic species! I find a swarm of bees cuter than a nest of kittens.

Whoah man... is that active?

Just kidding... I'd have probably ran from that. Things with needles in their asses freak me out.

Don't worry, they're very peaceful when they're swarming. I've been told that you can safely (although gingerly) put your hand inside the swarm (be careful not to touch the queen). I've literally never been stung by a bee, even though my dead kept a few hives until I was 9 and I used to play among them, even crushed one once between my fingers once (by accident, still feel kinda sorry for it) and didn't get stung. Although that was sheer luck of course.

Oh yeah, freaking out and flopping your hands about tends to make bugs aggressive, so try to keep cool, don't move and let them have your way (unless they're a blood-sucking species of course...)

A few years back I helped a beekeeper collect a swarm like that one, but about twice as big. I held a cardboard box under the swarm while he used a paintbrush to brush the bees into the box bit by bit until we found the queen in the middle. He made sure we got her into the box, then most of the rest of the bees, then just closed up the box and took them away. Neither of us wore anything other than what we might wear at any other time (no protective gear), and I wasn't stung at all, he was stung once. One of the bees got pinched under his shirtsleeve so it stung him.

It's definitely a weird feeling having a few hundred bees crawling all over you.

Happy mushrooming!
