Photos of the cluster in the tree and the hive afterwards. I didn't realize it till I looked at photos and then went and confirmed with binoculars that there were two clusters so it was more bees than I initially thought. They were all joined up 15 minutes before they all took flight and left.

A photo of a cluster of bees 50-60 feet up in an evergreen tree. There is another cluster above them on a different branch that is barely visible.

The hive they came from. There are bees on the front of the hive, below the entrance on the hive stand, and below the stand on a concrete block and maybe a few on the ground still.

Nature’s hidden algorithm: a team of biologists and robotic engineers have developed a VR system for fish to decipher how they school. The ‘control law’ that is used by zebrafish to facilitate collective motion has also implications for robotics. 🐟🤖

There has been a lot of bee activity at the bait hive this morning. When I first looked for the swarm up in the tree I thought it was gone but then I spotted it later but it seemed like maybe it was smaller. The branch wasn't bent down as much. Seems sorta like the bee swarm didn't have a plan or maybe they had found a migratory hive that was empty and it moved overnight. They're 50 feet, 15 meters, up in a tree so not much I can do about that.

Feeling the desire to develop Fediverse versions of #Swarm (Foursquare) and #Untappd. Partially to have a “weekend” project, but also because each service doesn’t have alternatives (AFAIK) if they were to shut down. Swarm in particular seems not long for this world. Both products seem well suited for the strengths of the Fediverse (personal journaling with the option for sharing in tight social circles).

Swarm season! 💛 My favorite time of the year.

First of 2025, a beautiful 10-20,000 honeybee swarm cluster on my friend’s cherry tree.

I rigged this slick bucket on a swiveling extending pole a year ago which works so well, and is an upgrade to previous season’s bucket, duct tape on bamboo pole.

But, major equipment #fail yesterday. After swarm of honeybees was in bucket, bucket disengaged from pole. Result? A cascading waterfall of bees. 🙈

Plan B. Up close and personal via ladder with bucket in hands. Went up three times to get all of them!

Such a great day. First time I was close enough to my wee apiary that I could walk the box o’ #bees there (verses driving them).

Me in bee suit, under cherry tree, with a 5 gallon bucket on extension pole placing it under a honeybee swarm which is hanging off a branch about 10-15’ up.
Bucket disengages from my pole. And bees go everywhere. Equipment fail.
Me stepping back watching a waterfall of honeybees fall while bucket hits ground.
Plan B. I use a ladder and go up with bucket in my hands to collect swarm.
