Thanks, I’m aware just thought it was mildly interesting to share. As soon as I saw it I grabbed a ladder to get that photo, so I was more than pumped they chose my tree to take a break. They are still around resting for the night.
I hope they picked the tree because we planted a lot of plants to attract monarch butterflies and milkweed which is currently in bloom. We get all sorts of pollinators and everyone is more than welcome. Would be fascinating if they stuck around.
Even if they decide they need a different place to build their hive, your buffet will still probably be within foraging distance, from both hives old and new.

Time to get a hive! It’s only very slightly addictive, honestly. (My friends have stopped asking me about bees…)
