So, this happened on Monday. I dont think they were forming a hive, just resting while they swarm and choose a place to set themselves up in. Unfortunately we had to get rid of these bees. That bit of black you can see in the corner of the photo is the top of a waist high fence and it is right next to the skate park. Management have issues with kidlets being that close to that many bees. Which is understandable. Protect the kiddies at all costs! On a slightly irrelevant side note, some useless information on bees that I found out today. During peak honey making season, a bee will only live for up to 8 weeks. The reason for this is they are so busy, they quite literally wear away their wings.
