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...
Later on after I'd stopped panicking we contacted a bee keeper who came over last night and collected them into a hive. He will will come back in a few days to collect the hive and it's new occupants.
Hubby took these pics while they were still in the tree they had chosen, which by the way is only about six metres from our front door! The bee man said they had moved in permanently by the way they had set themselves up in the tree.

There are quite a few of them. They are now settling into their new 'hive' quite nicely.

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.

I added them by replying to my own post.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.
