These suckers swarming after you drive under the tree on the riding mower is pretty freaky. Literally thousands of bees swarming....

Man. I speed shifted that rider into 6th and ditched it at the gate, they followed right behind me. Awfully loud buzzing, I had the creepy crawlies for awhile.

No seconds passes for me... :)

WOW! Be careful with the killer bees looking very close like the honey bees. If they let you go without attacking you they must be honey bees. Good pic!!

it was freaky fo sho. I called a bee keeper in the next town over. he estimated about 2 + lbs of bee's were in that swarm. somewhere in the vicinity of 10 - 15 thousand bees... lol wow.... We are bee free currently , and the beekeeper has another colony added to his 1000 acre + sunflower plot. He was kind enough to leave some fresh raw, unfiltered honey with us, for giving him the opportunity to remove the hive......
