They swarmed into our front yard and the front doors were open at the time - so quite a few ended up inside our living area. I freaked, and shut myself in the other half of the house! I'll leave the next hour or so to your imagination...

TTT

Merci beaucoup; wow; those are amazing pictures! Glad you shared.

Holy Hana thats alot of bees. Glad you have someone to take them away.

Whoa jasanne, I don't know how close you had to get to take those photos, but I'd have do take them from behind a window, I have dreadful reactions to bee stings! Lovely to look at though, thanks for posting sweetie, love and hugs.

WOW!

That's quite a hive!!! Now sure I would like it in my yard.

What a glorious swarm!! I'm so glad you called a beekeeper instead of reaching for insecticide, Mother Earth thanks you for that! Generally swarming bees don't sting, they're too busy looking for and setting up a new home. And boy, are they loud when there's so many! Thanks so much for the photos, will be anxiously awaiting the honey, hee hee hee. Hugs, Marji

My goodness!!! What lovely photos and so many bees, I can only imagine the noise they were making

Marvelous pictures. Around here lots of people have hives & the honey is so good. Hope the Bee Keeper keeps u in honey now. What u need is Pooh Bear around with his hunny pot *

Oh, I love bees!!! My father was a beekeeper, besides working with his supermarket. We used to produced royal jelly, honey, propolis and queen bee for exportation. My uncle also works with apiculture besides his flower farm in south of Japan. It's lovely to see the picture. Thank you for sharing!

Good for phoning the beekeeper. My hubby is one in his spare time and I have learnt a lot from him. Bees is very amazing, but you do not want them close to your house. Luckily you saw them move in, a lot of people only discover bees after they have been there for a while. Tks for sharing with us.

This is beautiful, you are so lucky. Bees are dissapearing so please you need to take real good care of this ones!!!******************

oh no i am alergic to stings i would of been in trouble but the honey is so good

Interesting. I work with someone who keeps bees and beekeepers are always ready to oblige if there is a swarm for them to collect

Oh my goodness, I do not blame you for panicking. Lovely pictures. I was in a double dekker bus on top floor, when a swarm of bees flew right into it, boy was I glad there were no open windows. I still freaked out, yet I love honey bees.

Oh dear, lovely pictures but I freaked out also if they were in my tree.

Wow Liane, they look awesome. I love honey - I bought some beautiful Macadamia honey from our local buyer's market 3 weeks ago and boy is it good! We had a hive in our back tree for a while a couple of years ago, but I just had to stand there and hose them away. You see it's where our Kookaburra's have their nest every year and I couldn't not have the birds there.

Love and blessings Chris

Amazing!!!!!!

I'm just curious - how did you get pictures to load in the private section?

I tried on something last night and I couldn't find anyplace that I could upload them.

Wait until you have a sample of that honey.
