Bee swarm in Walnut Creek
This comes under the category of “Something Interesting I Saw Recently.” Wednesday I was in the Broadway Shopping Center in Walnut Creek. On the way back to my car I noticed something large and brown up in the tree. Looking up I realized it was a swarm of bees in the tree. I knew that bees would move to a new location this way, taking the queen with them. Reading more in Wikipedia I learned that bees will usually swarm in the spring but occasionally at other times, too. I’d never seen a bee swarm so I thought it was really cool. I’m not that happy with the quality of the few pictures I took but I hope they give you an idea of how it looked. I didn’t have a long lens to bring me any closer than this and I wasn’t about to climb the tree for a better shot.
Once again… you never know what you’re going to come across when out walking. There’s always something to discover.
Lesson of the day…never go shopping without your camera! thanx!
