Are these yours, from a hive? Or is it just a 'wild' swarm that you came upon?

They came out of one of our hives. They divide and increase their numbers! Very exciting! Grabbed my bee suit and camera and here you are!! Piccies of our honey bees swarming!

Very interesting, does this mean that you have to keep increasing the number of hives you have?

We started off with eight hives 4 for us and 4 for a friend... the numbers dramatically decreased last year but we have gone from 2 to 4 hives this year! We are learning thro doing... our friend lost interest almost straight away as he got stung several times!
