A Bee Swarm

Today I spotted a bee swarm in our pear tree. I have never seen one in person before; so, this was a real treat for me. I took these pictures and tried to decide what I could use to hold the swarm if I decided to attempt to keep it. We don’t have a bee box but my father in law does. I was contemplating what to do while taking the camera back inside only to find that the swarm had already left. That was fast! Maybe this isn’t the summer to try my hand at bee keeping. LOL!
