hfawk:Well, since I was curious as to why these bees were lingering about, I did I bit of reading on the whole swarming thing. h:
The swarming bees tend to be more sedate because:
1) They don't have a colony to defend (yet).
2) They're still following the old queen for the most part.
3) They're carrying stores of honey on their hind legs.

I remember back when I used to live south of the arctic circle, we had summers full of mosquitoes, bees, and every other kind of flying varmint known to man (or not).
Now, eh, not so much. But when I drive to Chicago during the summer time the front of my car does get caked with bugs so I guess they're around somewhere. Maybe they're concentrated on the highways.
