When they are swarming like that it is an impressive sight. I wish I could have been there. The bees move on until they find a safe spot for a hive. I hope your swarm found a suitable place for their new home.
This swarm was moved into a constructed hive. All they need to do is fill it with honey combs and start to work in the gardens.
You are right LPC, the cities are safer for bees. We are working to plant bee friendly plants so they have food. We have hives on the roof tops of tall buildings. We banned pesticides a few years ago. If the countryside becomes too toxic, the cities may become islands of life. How ironic. We used to think of the country as the "island" of life and the city as the concrete jungle.
