Swarms in July at 7am? Looked out the window while having morning coffee and they were in the air over the apiary... landed on a tall w**d in the vegetable garden. Probably came out of one of my 5 frame nucs made up about a month ago to overwinter. You could also convince me that this maybe an ascond too... put 15 mls of Apiguard on them 4 days ago.

Tiny bee on a tiny dill flower. Cant forget about all pollinators and not just honey bees. There is a bee for every flower.
