Greetings!
This morning we were checking our bee yard and agricultural fields and
noticed that about 50 or so bees were on the ground near a pear tree.
What appeared to bee a "small" swarm , may not have been the correct
observation.
It looked like the bees were "balling" a queen, but the queen was
dead. We removed the queen and the bees still stayed in the area.
Thinking..maybee the queen was on a maiden flight and died? There was
only one drone with the "masses".
Comments are appreciated.
Regards,
Herb/Norma Bee
