Sigh. Poor bees. Just out for a swarm, waiting for one of the gang to find a good spot for a new house, minding their own business and then WHAM! They should have never split off from the old hive in the first place.
We had a swarm like this one for a few days on a cedar branch. It hung quite low due to the weight. They left after a few days. When they are groiuped like this searching for a new home they are very docile and unlikely to sting unless grievously provoked.
The shot of the bees in freefall is pretty cool, though.
