Swarm of bees in my back yard!

Something about our yard attracts bees! I feel privileged as sadly bee numbers are declining. I'm not sure if my kids are allergic to bees, as they have never been stung, but although the bees are African bees (which can be fairly aggressive) I have found if you leave them alone, they will leave you alone.

This photo and video were taken yesterday afternoon, and the bees swarmed for only about ten minutes and then left. Today they were back again. They seem very interested in the lounger...

We have farmlands adjoining the back of our property and I hope they will find a suitable place there to set up a hive. We have had to have them professionally removed a couple of times from our laundry area. Although none of my family have been stung, there have been instances of swarm attacks in our town. It takes between 500-1000 bee stings to kill a person.

Thank you for reading!
