Must of Missed This One!
40 Acre Bees:
Must of missed this one last year!! Not good since we live in Canada No chance of survival here.
Bakersdozen:
How does that happen? They couldn't find a place to go?
Great pictures 40 Acre Bees! I would keep an eye on that spot for future swarms to move in. The appeal of old comb could be a lure.

I have seen this happen here a few times. After about 3 days of being homeless they will start building comb where they are. I knew of one swarm in a guys yard lived like that for 3 years a few years back. We had few years of drought and el nino winters and bees was able to survive
40 Acre Bees:
Going to keep a close eye on this one and have also set up a make shift swarm trap not far from there. I don't understand how we didn't see this last year as it is on a path we frequent.
apisbees:
There can be other factors to the bees not finding a more sheltered location. If the bees swarm out of a hive and end up stuck in the swarm because of rainy weather, in 3 days the bees will be producing wax and once they start to build comb they will stay there.
