They were just hanging out while scouts went looking for a good place to set up their new hive. Clearly, they were smart enough to realize that they wanted nothing to do with Obama's White House! Thoausands of bee's just hanging out? Is this normal bee behavior? I'm asking because I don't know. Do you work with bee's? Peace, Dave It happens all the time in one place or another. hives move around from time to time and this is normal. The bees could have moved on, or they might be in the attic. I've seen them move into a house attic and it might be a long time before people notice them. Honey bees seldom sting unless you get aggressive with them unless they are the African bees. My uncle used to have several hives around his farm in one place or another to help pollinate some of his plants and trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be grateful he isnt in Arizona then, where all the native bees have been recolonized with africanized bees. Several years ago in Phoenix, a man parked his jeep and went into the mall. He came out an hour or so later to find a swarm of bees had taken over his jeep lol. The fire department had to be called out to deal with it lol.

Thoausands of bee's just hanging out? Is this normal bee behavior? I'm asking because I don't know. Do you work with bee's? Peace, Dave Yes, hubby and I have 2 hives right now and friends who have many, many more. If an established hive gets too full of bees, they'll make a new queen and split off to go make a second hive elsewhere. The bees will cluster in a group around the queen and wait for scouts to go out and hunt up a new location. They'll gather all sorts of places. They are also at the their most gentle during this time, meaning they can be handled pretty easily because they're not defending their hive. Anyway, the scouts will go out and look for a new home and when they find it, they'll come back and get the rest of the hive and off they'll all go. Hives that are swarming don't hang around for long, usually. Here are some shots I've taken of our bees if anyone is interested: Bees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you figure it was 10am? It was reported in another article I saw on the incident. It's not unusual for the Obama's to exercise on the Lord's day. On Christmas morning they both went and played some sport or another together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
