swarm of bee's today on friern rd

[nannyjuice]

Hi people.

i was walking down friern rd around 2.45 yards from my house when i noticed a young couple on the other side of the road turn round and run back down where they had came from.

I heard them before i spotted them millions of bee's, Ihave only ever witnessed this on the tv before. I panicked to get into my house.

Did anyone see them today in this area? Does anyone know where they came from ? Have;nt opened my back door in case they return as i have two elderly dogs don't want them getting stung.

little bit freaked out. lily

Bees swarm regularly at this time of year (ish) - it will be a Queen splitting the hive to set up a new colony. If you call the police they often have a list of local bee-keepers who can collect the swarm and locate it in a new hive.

I had that problem a few years ago! I live in marmora road and my window was coverd in bees! for days in hot waether i had to keep my windows shut! Then a friend told my there is a hive in one of the gardens, so figured they came from there! I called the bee keeper out! and slowly dissapeard and never been back since.

There are bee hives in the allotments on the corner of friern and underhill. Was it near there?

Got any photos of the event? There is a beekeeper around who tends to some hives in the allotments on the corner of Friern and Underhill.

Its a really scary thing to see. I remember my Dad shouting us all in from the garden a few years ago whilst we were having a BBQ. He could hear a loud buzzing, looked over the wall to our neighbours house and this swarm of around 20,000 bees was flying towards us. It was horrible, when we got inside we ran to shut all the windows, at that exact moment the back room went completely dark, it was like a bee curtain right across the windows. Mum and dad already had a bee's nest down the chimney so we wondered if they were attracted to that. They stayed there for around 15 minutes and then swarmed off up the road, it was at that point you saw groups of people running and screaming back down the street.
