Because i can not have beez

For All of you who remember I Wanted to get my own bee hive this will be of interest to you! I'm walking around just picking my nose with my dog on his leash. When I come across a wonderful site! A swarm of bees is hovering around where my dog usually does his uhh... business... As my dog performs his task I'm standing there wondering why there are so many bees in the bush, and I get to thinking. This bush does not really flower much, and it should not be attracting this many bees.

 I then come to the conclusion that this is in fact a BEE HIVE! Click on all the pictures with the bushes to get a better view of the bees flying around. They did not seem to care that I was right next to their home. it was rather exciting. However, for this kind of purpose I realize I will need to get my hands on a much better camera.


These pictures are a head on view of where the actual hive is in the bush. If you look at the pictures in full view you can actually see a few bees near the center of the pic.
One thing about where this hive is located is that it is near the back section of this group of houses I live in, I'm pretty sure no kids play around back here, and it's generally out of the way for people walking around. Thus it's a great spot for the bees to have picked to live. Good job guys!


This is so cool for me. I wanted my own bee hive, but this will probably do. Mostly I wanted it for the pollen exchange and to watch them, not so much the care for the bees, thought that would have been fun too.
KK! Thx all for the reads. I'll be updating you on how this hive is doing next time !

  1. BEES, hopefully they aren't just a temporary swarm, they are known to do that while looking for a place to make a hive. But that bush looks like an awesome place to set up, as long as someone doesn't try to spray them.

  10. No! Bees are scary! But only when you're allergic to them (as I am). I'm trying to get more comfortable with them..
