A swarm of bees recently moved into a pine tree on my neighbor's front yard: http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2022/5/6/bees K-5 IIs, smc DA 18-135hour mm F 3.5-5.6 ED AL [IF] DC WR Comments, criticisms, questions, and suggestions are invited and appreciated.

Well captured, Dan. Looking for a home! Probably a breakaway group from an over-large hive. Many years ago, during a athletics meeting at the local High School, a large swarm arrived in a tree near the track. Some idiot schoolkids started pelting them with stones and they went on the rampage. My wife was badly stung & had to go for antihistamine treatment which had to be repeated after about a week. She was advised to carry an antihistamine phial & a syringe for a couple of years. Fortunately there was never a recurrence. Alan C On 06-May-22 11:14 PM, Daniel J.

Thanks, Alan! It is possible that this swarm left a property about half a mile up the main road, the owners of which keep bees and sell raw honey.
