Bees at the local..

Bee whispering.

I was about a metre away when I took that pic @User ....I'm not sure about that

Punch them all in the face. Or is that sharks?

Rabbits I think...they can break your arm you know...

If I were that close, I would have spoken very softly.

That's why Roosevelt carried a big stick then. Nothing to do with foreign policy, it was all about the bees.

What's the technique for catching the swarm?

If I had a go I have visions of scooping them into a box or whatnot, missing the box and then being pursued by hordes of angry bees over the horizon

Hoover!

Or a plastic bag

Nice work. He took the sting out of the situation.

We had a swarm in my aunt's back yard when I was a kid, My aunt tried to use a hose on them, and was chased away, so my father called the bee man, much the same as above, no protection, put the bees in a big bucket and away to the bee man's little world of bees. A friend of mine has bees, now he captures swarms, but he just takes them home and puts them in his hives in the backyard. He has other hives round about on farms, and sometimes moves the hives to orchards to pollinate the trees. I think swarms happen quite a bit this time of year. Hives get overcrowded, a new queen is made, or crowned, or invested or something, and she takes the overflow somewhere else. My dad was quite well read on bees, as a friend of his at work kept bees, but was illiterate.

There doesn't seem to many folks droning on with bee puns.

I think it's the old queen who goes off. Just saying...

So, are we just talking about US presidents now?

Johnson!

Are you trying to Trump our posts?

Was the lady who took the bees away a honey?

Here is my dad and his mate trying to get his bees back after they attempted to bugger off somewhere.

I was in the back garden one sunny day with my young son, heard a loud humming sound and saw a dark black "cloud" in next doors garden.

It was a swarm of bees moving home (must have been in a tree?), awesome to watch but a bit worrying as well!.

I booted a wasp that kept buzzing past my lad (landed on a Laurel leef), not a good idea in flip-flops as it got caught between my foot and the sole..

As an example - do a search on bee beards (and before you attempt one yourself ensure you block any orifices that they can get into...).
