Marching a swarm of bees into a new home video
We've joked about it, written about it and shared a few photos but here is a video of the bees actually doing it!  Marching themselves into a new home... and by the way, when will the bees start reading the same books as the rest of us?  Don't they know that the end of July is not the time they should be swarming?!? :-)
