One of the swarms from the privet hedge thicket.  It's a five part video but the best parts are the first few.

Thanks, guys.  If I can just keep'em all int their boxes I *might* make some honey this year.<sigh>  I walked out back yesterday before heading to work and at first thought another swarm might've issued from one of the hives but once I got to looking it was bees working the flow...definitely need air traffic control down there ....bees were going and coming from everywhere!!! 

It's been five days since I got that swarm and bees still are buzzing that limb!!!!!

Here are the other parts of the video (if your life is *really* boring...or maybe for the winter months...cheap entertainment... ).  I think I got them in the right order.<g>

Keep right on videoing...  Watched them all.. I just need to set a loop to vid 3 so I can run it up on the big screen and let them sing me to sleep every night..   Well done and thanks for taking the time!!!!!

Great videos!  My wife spotted a pineapple size swarm up in a pine tree the other day and wanted to help get it into a nuc.  She was cracking up over them “sticking their butts in the air” and fanning.  She doesn’t don her bee jacket very often, but I love it when she does.
