Just beeee careful.

I hit a few swarms when I drove a truck. They sure can mess up a fresh wash job.
Had a budy hit a swarm on his harley.

We get some every other year or so on our place that swarm into the mesquite patch. Fortunately I haven't had any serious accidents but one time one of the swarms seem pretty aggressive and I had two sting just standing about 40 yards away from it. I moved out pretty quick and didn't back in that area for about a week to check to see if they had moved on or not. I have not run across any more like that in about two years or so but there is a small hive in an area of our creek bed that has been active for years. It's inside a hollow in a live oak tree.

Seen it once about 10 years ago. I was working for a tile distributor and had to deliver a mosaic that was left off an important delivery out between Marble Falls and LBJ. Driving down a county road out there with the windows down and came over a hill and ran straight into a swarm and a bunch got sucked into the cab of my truck. I slammed on the brakes and jumped out doing the bee dance in the middle of the road. Took me almost an hour before I got all them out of my truck and don't know how but never got stung once. Also had a tree on my old lease in Lockhart that you could hear a loud hum in but never saw the swarm come out.

We used to catch a bunch of swarms every spring when Dad was younger. We would let them stick and ball up good. They usually wouldn't fly maybe a 100 yds or so from the original hive if you didn't mess with them. Cut the limb, drop them into a hive box. Swarming bees weren't aggressive. You just had to keep them out of your hair. We would catch them with just a hat, vail, and street clothes.

I had a group under a storage container at my ranch. This last bit of rain flooded out their hive though far as I can tell since they weren't there yesterday

I've done that twice in the last 3 years, they whack a window pretty good.

Homeless, thousands, bunching together??? O Crap. looks like a new source of untapped Democrats.

Had a swarm come by when I was walking at the ranch. I think I could of been on the US Track team.

know this feeling

I had a swarm land on a tree and clump up in the backyard this weekend. Stayed for about 30 minutes and moved on. It's the third time they have done this in my backyard at three different houses I have lived in. I must be the bee whisperer. Maybe the honey business was my true calling. Lol

a few years ago we baled oat straw from one of the fields we had combined the grain from....didn't get back to the field to get those round bales out for a month because of other crops or wet weather.....when we did try to move the bales my brother found that a swarm of honey bees had claimed a straw bale as their new hive...we waited for a couple of months for them to move on but they never did and so when we were getting the field ready to go back with the next year's crop we just set that bale on fire....needless to say that moved them.....

Now that there is funny.

Swarms shouldn't be too aggressive unless there Africanized. They have no home or honey to protect so they are pretty calm. I got into beekeeping a few years ago. All the bees i have are native bees that i got from doing cut outs. Seems that I can't every get a call for an easy swarm removal. I'm doing a cutout today after work, should be fun....

Several years ago we had a new cut-off valve added to our main water line from the city so I wouldn't have to mess with the meter. Well the bees liked the little round hole and soon filled it with comb. It was great I could stand in the middle of them and they would fly by me like I wasn't there. Finally had a bee keeper from Garland come and remove them as all Dallas could tell me was get some bug spray and kill them.

Hit a swarm driving just outside of Navasota doing about 65mph with all windows down. Would have been a youtube hit if somebody would have filmed our minivan flying off the rode and 4 people running out of it covered in bees. Suprisngly no one got stung/hurt.
