Early afternoon and I hear a mighty humming noise. A swarm of bees had come to visit!  After I had run around the house closing the windows I caught a bit on video.

I've never been this close to a swarm of bees. Being behind a window was great as they were super close. I did consider going outside but they moved off shortly after filming them. They also came back a few hours later but didn't hang around and I didn't get my camera in time. I think they may have been mating as there seemed to be two swarms which you can't really see on the video, but that is the reason I moved the camera from one angle to another. Or it may have been a hive split and they were simply waiting for instructions. Whatever it was, it was very cool! 



Recorded in 4K. Best to watch on the biggest screen you can, cos bees are small!

A few years back my son and I were hiking on some nearby hills and encountered a swarm. We each got a few stings, but not too bad. The next day I discovered it was a swarm of the Africanized Honey Bees I'd heard about as a kid that has been moving up from Brazil ever since. They've finally made it up to the SF Bay Area but had hybridized so much over the years that they were less aggressive than yellow jacket wasps. Not every day you get to meet a childhood fear as an adult.
